I didn't know cannonballs were explosive. I thought it was their weight and velocity that made them so lethal.

There was a man here locally that would have some cannonballs made, also locally, and bury them with rock salt. After a few weeks he would dig them up and take them around to these reenactments and sell them as authentic.

Were 8" cannonballs normally explosive? I thought that was mostly on cartoons.
