Eager to learn and willing to teach.
I know very little about cannons. Can that round be recovered and reused?
Oh yes most of the time the harder rounds (zinc) the softer rounds (lead) can be recovered and remelted to make new rounds.
Was period shot made of zinc? Thanks!
Not that I am aware of.
No. typically made of iron.
Yes the solid shot could be reused if found. Those were made from fairly hard cast iron. If it didn’t shatter hitting something you could reuse it.
