In the latest episode of the No Lowballers podcast, hosts Logan Metesh of High Caliber History and Allen Forkner of GunBroker.com travel to the heart of Texas to uncover the fascinating and often forgotten stories behind the cannons of the Alamo. With special guest Kolby Lanham, senior researcher and historian at the Alamo, this episode fires on all cylinders for firearms enthusiasts, history lovers and fans of Western lore.

Titled “The Cannons of the Alamo: Buried, Fired, and Turned into Birdbaths,” the episode takes listeners on a journey from colonial Sweden to downtown San Antonio as Lanham reveals how cannons once lost to time were unearthed in backyards, repurposed as lawn ornaments and even melted into church bells. Along the way, the team explores the tactics, myths and legacy of the artillery used during the legendary 1836 siege.

Listeners will discover:

• How 15 cannons were found buried under a front yard and others remain beneath city sidewalks
• The wide range of firepower used in the battle, from 1-pound swivel guns to 18-pound siege pieces
• How Texian defenders loaded their guns with everything from spoons to horseshoes
• Why the Mexican army knew the layout of the Alamo and still paid a heavy price
• How some of these cannons ended up in Phil Collins’ private collection, and what Disney had to do with it

Whether you geek out over preservation techniques like electrolysis baths and LIDAR scans or just want to hear how a cannon became a birdbath in a Maverick descendant’s yard, this episode delivers a blast of history you won’t want to miss.
