Lost Cannon

Some 20 years or so ago, my eldest, while
working w/ a pile driving crew at 5 mile
Creek, north of Mobile, dredged-up a cannon;
being well versed in old things, he found that
it had Spanish markings; at any rate, it being
on a Friday and the crew was returning to
Ozark for the week end, they decided to leave
it locked in the company compound knowing it
would be safe until the follwing week; upon
their return on Monday, all traces of the cannon
were gone; the only others having a key to
the compound were representatives of the Corps
of Engineers; anyone seen a loose cannon??
