Looks like scrap or a piece of disposal oven melt from the Joliet Army Ammunition Plant. The Salvage Yard area L5 adjacent to Kemery Lake and Prairie Creek, had the disposed metal scrap from incineration and heavy duty oven facilities - though the find generally isn't surprising when you consider the size of this toxic munitions dump near Midewin and Elwood, which seems to be the area you mention the "cannonball" was dug up...If it was from a nearby rural plot...well maybe the homesteader went to the army junkyard and liked the iron ball for a doorstep.... Here's a map to get your cannon ball bearings:-), and following it is the report on the poisoning of the area with scraps and hazardous contaminations done by the army. map: http://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/hac/PHA/jolietaap/jol_f1.gif (Which you can check the above map to see how close the find was) Description of the aftermath: http://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/hac/PHA/jolietaap/jol_p2.html Best wishes, Doug ----- Original Message ----- From: <dfpens_at_comcast.net> To: "E.P.
