Walk on the beach in North Carolina yields exposed artillery round

Kerry and Patti Belanger's walk on the beach ended with a knock on the door from the bomb squad. The couple set out on a hunt for seashells on Kure Beach near Wilmington, N.C., and soon discovered a live Civil War-era munition. The bomb squad showed up, and the New Hanover County Sheriff's Office determined the mystery munition was a Union Army Parrott round from the Civil War. Bomb squad deputies removed and discharged the shell. The couple got the pieces back.  • Article
