Gen. Sherman's war spoils at bottom of SC River
They might dam the Congaree River in Columbia South Carolina. And this could mean the recovery of Confederate Munitions dumped by General Sherman a Century and a Half Ago.
Not sure if this belongs here, but the article does mention the Civil War and possible recovery of Confederate Munitions.

"The State reports on a most unusual side effect of damming the river to do so: the possible recovery of Confederate munitions seized and then dumped by Gen. William T. Sherman's Union army a century and a half ago. The State includes a list of what Union troops logged as having captured from their Confederate counterparts in taking the city on Feb. 17, 1865: 1.2 million ball cartridges, 100,000 percussion caps, 4,000 bayonet scabbards, 3,100 sabers, 1,100 knapsacks, and more."
