A dangerous and historic discovery was made in Central Park on Friday afternoon.
Parks workers came upon a live cannon ball, loaded in a cannon that is getting refurbished, CBS 2’s Lou Young reported exclusively.
The loaded artillery piece was one of two Revolutionary War-era cannons being stored at the park’s Ramble shed near the 79th Street transverse. Preservation workers for the Central Park Conservancy called police about mid-day after opening up the capped cannon for cleaning.

New York. Surprised Bloomburgler didn’t confiscate it.
Especially seeing as it’s larger than 16oz.

Live Cannon Ball? A Cannon Ball is solid. Or is this just a test to see if we react in similar fashion to those high capacity bullet clips.
