Archaeologists Just Stumbled Across An Unexploded Civil War Artillery Shell At Gettysburg

Archaeologists Just Stumbled Across An Unexploded Civil War Artillery Shell At Gettysburg




Though the shell was destroyed, historians suspect that it was fired by Confederate forces on July 2, 1863.

While sweeping the grounds of Gettysburg National Military Park as part of a rehabilitation project, an archaeologist detected something buried beneath the earth with his metal detector — and two feet down, he came across a 10-pound artillery shell from the Civil War. Realizing that it was likely live, he laid it down on the ground gently, snapped a photo, and "ran for the hills."⁠
Experts then visited the park to examine the 160-year-old ordnance, and after identifying it as a Burton round likely fired by Confederate troops from a Parrott cannon or 3-inch ordnance rifle during the Battle of Gettysburg, they swiftly destroyed it as a safety measure — read more at the link in our profile.⁠

While sweeping the grounds of Gettysburg National Military Park as part of a rehabilitation project, archaeologist Steven Brann detected something buried beneath the earth with his metal detector. Two feet down, he came across an intact shell from the Civil War.

Brann, used to finding small objects like buttons or old bullets, carefully dug the ordnance out of the ground. Then, the archaeologist fled.

“He laid it gently on the ground, took a picture of it, and ran for the hills,” Jason Martz, spokesman for Gettysburg National Military Park, told CNN.

Park officials then called in the Army’s 55th Ordnance Company, stationed nearby at Fort Belvoir, Virginia, who came to the park to examine the object. They studied it, put it in a hole with C-4 explosives, and detonated it.

“Safety protocols call for us to assume it is live,” Martz said, and CNN noted that destroying historical ammunition is standard procedure, as it’s often too difficult to make such artifacts safe enough to put on display.

That said, historians do have some educated guesses about who fired the ordnance during the Battle of Gettysburg in July 1863.

Live Science reports that the ordnance was discovered near Little Round Top, a hill at Gettysburg that offered Union troops a strategic position during the pivotal battle, which lasted from July 1 until July 3. On July 2, Union and Confederates fought fiercely for control of the hill, which is when historians suspect that the ordnance was fired.

The Army’s 55th Ordnance Company determined that the ordnance was a Burton round, according to CNN, which would have been fired from a Parrott cannon or 3-inch ordnance rifle.

Park officials stated that the round could not have come from Union canons, which means that Confederate forces likely fired it. But because the fighting at Little Top Hill was so intense, the ordnance could have also been a case of Confederate friendly fire.

“We ourselves would like to know as much as we can, so we can tell this story when we are doing ranger programs,” Martz told CNN. “It is possible that Confederate artillery fired upon Confederate infantry.”

“We ourselves would like to know as much as we can, so we can tell this story when we are doing ranger programs,” Martz told CNN. “It is possible that Confederate artillery fired upon Confederate infantry.”

Wherever the ordnance came from, it represents one small part of the larger story of Gettysburg. That battle ended in a Union victory, dashing Southern hopes of invading the North, forcing a peace deal, and ending the conflict. Instead, the Civil War would drag on for two more years.

And some are annoyed that the park decided to destroy such a valuable piece of American history.

The Gettysburg National Park posted about the ordnance’s discovery — and destruction — on Facebook, arousing the ire of many users who believed that the artillery shell should have been saved.

“Ironic that a national military park who wants to preserve the battlefield, would destroy a relic from that very battle. This could have easily been displayed at the park,” wrote one user, according to CNN.

Indeed, the ordnance found at Gettysburg is a historic treasure — the Washington Post reports that just five artillery shells have been discovered at Gettysburg since 1980. Martz acknowledged that it was a “rare find, for sure,” and that its destruction ensured that “we’re never going to know whether the thing was live or not.”

Ordnance Next To Hole

Martz acknowledged that it was a “rare find, for sure,” and that its destruction ensured that “we’re never going to know whether the thing was live or not.”


But safety regulations demanded its destruction, and park officials hope that its mere existence can remind people of the true, human stakes of Gettysburg.

“[I]t reminds us that it was all real,” Chris Gwinn, chief of interpretation at the park, told CNN. “The battle really happened and beneath the veneer of this beautiful national park are the tangible reminders of its ferocity and tragedy. Finds like this help connect people to the past and make it a real, three-dimensional place.”

Florida's Messiest Execution

Florida's Messiest Execution On July 8, 1999, the execution of Allen Lee Davis set off a shock wave that rippled around the world. During his time in the electric chair, Davis bled profusely from the nose and suffered burns to his head, leg, and groin area. As the switch was thrown, the “Tiny” Davis, who was executed for the May 11, 1982, murder of Nancy Weiler and her two daughters, reared back against the restraints, giving witnesses a chilling glimpse under a black hood designed to hide the faces of the condemned. Blood poured from his vivid purple nose, ran down the wide leather strap that covered his mouth and soaked the white shirt. After the power was turned off, Davis was still alive. Witnesses said his chest rose and fell about 10 times before he went still. After the execution, state prison officials and Governor Jeb Bush said the Old Sparky functioned properly. Three photos of the incident have been published on Florida’s High Court official website in an attempt to argu...

How I Missed My Future Husband” – Nigerian Lady (Photo)

I checked in for my flight that cold misty morning… After surviving a break failure… (story for another day) It was drizzling. This raining season must have been heart broken and is taking out its anger on mankind. I wanted to wear something simple, like a very short skirt and sheer top but changed my mind and wore an up and down Ankara peplon top and straight trousers. I even had a Jean jacket in my bag, just incase. The weather ain’t no body’s Friend. After checking in my luggage, I made my way to the departure lounge, with my ticket and ID card in hand. I sat down and brought out my phone to call mum. A few minutes later, I was done with the call. I looked up and saw this guy. Heigod! Usually, I don’t stare at people, no matter how handsome, fine, or gorgeous you are. I look once or twice and look away. Always. But this time, I stared. He had just passed the annoying security check, where you had to remove jewelries and shoes. He wore a black trouser, a light blue polo and a black j...

How “Lobster Boy” Grady Stiles Went From Circus Act To Murderer

How “Lobster Boy” Grady Stiles Went From Circus Act To Murderer For more than a century, a peculiar physical condition known as ectrodactyly has afflicted the Stiles family. The rare congenital deformity makes hands look like lobster claws as the middle fingers are either missing or seemingly fused to the thumb and pinky.⁠ ⁠ While many may have viewed this condition as a handicap, for the Stiles family it spelled opportunity. As the family grew and produced more children with unusual hands and feet, they developed a circus: The Lobster Family, which became a carnival staple throughout the early 20th century. But one of their children, Grady Stiles Jr., would give the Stiles family a different, morbid reputation when he became a serial abuser and murderer.⁠ ⁠ Go inside the haunting crimes of "Lobster Boy" by clicking the link in our profile.⁠ Discover how "Lobster Boy" Grady Stiles got his "claws" and how he eventually began using them to commit murder.

Place to touch to make her be in sex mood

From her head all the way to her toes, here are 10 of the top erog enous zones to turn her on: Her Head Have you ever been on the receiving end of a scalp massage and felt those warm fuzzy tingles from head to toe? That’s because the skin on the top of your head is loaded with nerves that are extremely sensitive to the touch. Sti mulating the scalp in the right way releases a flood of feel-good ho rmones like serotonin and oxytocin. It also increases blood flow, not just to her brain (the largest s ex org an, remember?) but all over her body.Next time you and your partner are kissing or cuddling, open your fi ngers wide and run them slowly through her hair, lightly stroking her scalp with your fi ngertips. Start behind her ears, at the base of the head, and circulate to the front, kind of like you’re lathering shampoo into your hair. Scalp massages are both soothing and sensual: They help release tension, and get her in the mood for other sti mulating activities. Her Ears ...

A Germany Regiment marching down from their mountain positions surrender to the Americans, Austria, 1945

A Germany Regiment marching down from their mountain positions surrender to the Americans, Austria, 1945 After Germany's surrender in May 1945, millions of German soldiers remained prisoners of war. In France, their internment lasted a particularly long time. But, for some former soldiers, it was a path to rehabilitation. After Germany's surrender in May 1945, millions of German soldiers remained prisoners of war. In France, their internment lasted a particularly long time. But, for some former soldiers, it was a path to rehabilitation. French units lost out to US soldiers in the last meters of the race to reach Adolf Hitler's destroyed Alpine headquarters, the Berghof. But French troops in southern Germany in early May 1945 nonetheless made good progress, capturing one town after the other. After four years of Nazi occupation, France, under General Charles de Gaulle, joined the ultimately victorious Allied powers in 1944. And the country made sure the defeated German natio...

Male Child Is Better Than A Female Child

11 SIGNS YOU’RE IN A BAD RELATIONSHIP (BUT DON’T WANT TO ADMIT IT)

A Poisonous relationship can alter our perception. You can spend many years thinking you’re worthless. But you’re not worthless. You’re underappreciated.” – Steve Maraboli Being in a bad or toxic relationship is often something that we don’t realize that we’re in until we’re out of it. Bad relationships can invade every other aspect of our lives, from our friendships to our family relationships. They can make you feel depressed or anxious for no reason. Marriage & family therapist and author Darlene Lancer, JD, MFT says, “Healthy relationships nourish and support us. A toxic relationship, on the other hand, is like poison to us — instead of lifting us up, it makes us feel worse. When it ends, we might experience post-traumatic stress or a lessening of self-esteem and trust in ourselves and others.” When you’re in a bad relationship, you’re probably ignoring all the signs – it’s what we do as humans to protect ourselves. If you’re in a toxic relationship, you may notice th...
