Itty Bitty #3, or one last cannon (for now)


I know it's hard to see. Even the modern digital camera's macro lens has its limitations. The little field cannon on the U.S. penny is non-functional (the bore is there, but there's no touch hole), but it could be if:

a). I had a small enough Dremel Tool bit to make a touch hole, and,

b). if one could actually get black powder grains in there.

It's gold. It's cute. It's a cannon. What else can I say?
