Hurricane Matthew Washes Civil War Cannonballs Up in S.C.-- Part 3

From RayCom News Network.

A beach walker found them.  (Video accompanies the article).

The tip of the island at this point had lots of fortifications during the war.

By Sunday night, a number of them had been detonated by the Air Force and a small number of them transported to the Naval base.

The cannonballs were located several yards on the beach portion of East Ashley Avenue.

Witnesses reported hearing at least two loud booms and seeing smoke in the area.
