That’s pretty cool! Best I’ve found was a 16 year old bottle of Bushmills in my cupboard. Great find really!

Will the Spaniards be looking for their ball back?
Hope not. It’s probably good enough to get a few Irish caps.
Surprising that the Spanish gave the ball away in the first place really
The handy thing is that it can be reused. It’s actually still compatible with some of the cannons on current Irish navy vessels.
Ha!
This is amazing. We have some pretty amazing history. There is another newgrange and Tara brooch buried out there
