    CONFEDERATE 12 POUND CANNONBALL, GORDONS HILL,APPOMATTOX,APRIL 9,1865
    This Confederate 12 pounder cannonball was found on what is known by locals as Gordon’s Hill in Appomattox, Virginia in 1933.                                                                                                                               It was found by a local historian on the hill where Confederate General Gordon ordered the last confederate charge on April 9, 1865. he found several cannon balls sticking up from the ground.
    He went home and got a shovel then went back to the hill where he found a lot of relics from cannonballs to a broken sword.
    This cannonball is in good condition with light/medium pitting and has a dark brown patina.                NOTE - The cannonball is actually dark brown but the camera flash makes it look lighter.                        It comes with a certificate of authenticity & a family letter from the historian’s family from whom I bought it.
