Historian, Civil War buffs weigh in on how shell got here
By Kelly Marshall
The Sun News
"A football-sized Parrott round found last week in Murrells Inlet could have been remaining ammunition from a skirmish between Confederate blockade runners and the U.S. Navy on the Waccamaw Neck."

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.
