. . . Sean DeGroot said he found the cannonball buried under two feet of sand Friday in South Toms River while using a metal detector.

He put the ball in a bucket of water, placed it in his truck and took it home, where he started poking at it with a butter knife.

"I was taking the rusted iron off, and then I found a fuse in it," DeGroot said. He said he could "smell the gunpowder." . . .

J. Mark Mutter, a local historian, said the cannonball could have been used when the British attacked the Toms River in 1778 or 1782. Or, he said it could have been thrown overboard from a ship which was too heavy to move in a low tide on the river.
