Two "empties" were found on the shore of the Foundry Cove, West Point Foundry, Cold Spring, NY during achaeological investigations for the EPA, where once shells were fired across the Hudson River at the Academy for practice. One mis-fire and the government had to repair the Cold Spring Catholic church, the first, its said, in the valley.
