Some Gold Paint will take care of the color.

Tony, found one...
A VERY GOOD AMERICAN REVOLUTIONARY WAR PERIOD "SOLID
SHOT" SIX (6) POUND CANNON BALL, ca. 1770s: In overall very good untouched
condition. Solid shot, 3 1/2" diameter, approx. six
(6) pound ball. In very good untouched condition with the
expected heavy pitting and an untouched chocolate brown age patina overall.
Some
scattered roughness and an impact dent. A nice, authentic, medium-sized,
Revolutionary War Period Cannon Ball, ca. 1770s.
Price: $325.00
Now if I drilled out a tapered hole, had it
nickle/brass plated, the bead weight would be cut down to around 3.5 to 4
pounds, hopefully.
With the hook weighing in itself at 3 pounds, I
probably won't need to add any lead wrap to the shank.
This could work...a little pricy, though. I
wonder who's head made the impact dent...
Let's seeee.... the 'Cannonball
Caddis'?
