Historic Headlines (1942) Technical Bulletin on 2.36 Inch MI Rocket Launcher Released

Concerned that the cannonball was live, the appraiser provided the man the phone number for the EOD unit stationed at For Bragg. EOD reportedly talked to the collector over the phone and arranged for the local county bomb squad to investigate the item. The bomb squad responded and identified the item as a 60-pound Civil War-era cannonball. However, they were unable to positively identify if the item was a solid shot or if it contained black powder due to its size, thick casing, and age.
