Cannon/tools/hidden "box" for local treasure, dug into a grave before Sherman's men could steal it.

I'm going to be really surprised if they find a Confederate Foxbat in there. :-P

Could it be the mainframe I programed early in my career? I've always wondered whether US Grant kept my Fortran card decks.

Perhaps the short story by Thomas Nelson Page ("The Burial of the Guns") was not entirely fictional.

Quote from the story: "We ain't surrendering, just disbanding."

Rumors have existed since the 1960s over what happened to two large cannons after the Civil War.

Hey, we could start a rumor that before the Confederacy surrendered they melted down all their gold bullion and cast it into a cannon.
