Other Civil War Items Discovered in SC and Elsewhere Recently

From the same source as previous post.

Last year, two Civil War shells were found in the aftermath of Hurricane Dorian at Folly Beach, near Charleston.

A Civil War-era grave was found  in a Kansas forest that is linked to  the infamous Quantrill's Raid.

In 2019, a cannonball was found lodged in  a walnut tree  at a historic house in Independence, Missouri.

Earlier in the year, archaeologists in Delaware located the gravestone  of a Civil War soldier that may provide a vital clue in recovering a long-lost black cemetery.

In 2018, the remains of two Civil War soldiers was discovered in a surgeon's burial pit at Manassas National Battlefield Park in Virginia.

In 2018, a vacationer  on a North Carolina beach captured drone footage of a Civil War-era shipwreck.

In 2017, forensic linguists  said they had likely unraveled the mystery surrounding a letter long-believed to have been written by President Abraham Lincoln.

In 2015, the remains of a Confederate warship, the CSS Georgia, were raised from the Savannah River in Georgia.

The following year, the wreck of a iron-hulled Civil War-era steamer  was discovered off the coast of North Carolina.  This ship, tentatively identified as the blockade runner Agnes E. Fry, was discovered off Oak Island.
