Unexploded James Shell With No Gunpowder inside?

Hello -

received a recent email from Doug Keller at Pea Ridge NMP re the unexploded James shell found this past March. Seems when they drilled into it to remove its gunpowder, it was EMPTY.

Speculation is that this may have been fired as a bolt, or perhaps it was made on a Friday?

:-)

Comments, input, etc.???

y.v.o.s,

Kenneth Byrd
