#1 Missing is that it was a local kid who was out exploring and found a metal ball about 1/2" diameter - could not trust the local news, they said cannonball. Could be arquebus, could be grapeshot. Anyways, kid knew it was out of the ordinary and went towards people who might know such things. Nice of the professor and the news system to take credit for finding it.

#2 Solid ball? Or corroded hollow ball? The de Soto entrada carried lots of ornamental bells for trade.
