Construction crew finds civil war artillery shell

[sgdbdr]

Hi,

This popped up in aFB group about civil war ammunition.
Is someone able to identify the projectile and the fuze in this press release : https://www.counton2.com/news/local...ng-to-east-bay-street-in-downtown-charleston/
(european people may have to use a proxy or a VPN to read it)



Thanks

S.

Looks like a 12 cm (or 15 cm) Krupp shell 1880's era. Surely not from civil war...
