A glass bottle stocked with old, rusted nails dating back to the Civil War has been discovered in Virginia. Known as a "witch bottle," the glass bottle was found between the exits 238 and 242 on Interstate 64, according to a release from the William & Mary Center for Archaeological Research (WMCAR). During the Civil War, the area was known as Redoubt 9, a mini-fort constructed by Confederate troops. In August 2019, a log cabin, thought to date to the Civil War era or even earlier, was found inside a house in Arkansas. A Civil War cannonball was discovered in September lodged in a walnut tree at a historic house in Independence, Mo.
