U.S. Air Force Explosive Ordnance Disposal technicians worked with local law enforcement bomb squad members to transport Civil War era cannonballs that washed ashore during Hurricane Matthew to a safe location. The ordinance washed ashore on Sunday in Folly Beach, SC, Sunday October 9, 2016.
UPDATE: US Air Force Explosive Team will be transporting the remaining Folly Beach ordnance to the Navy base for destruction. #chsnews

After the discovery of ordnance on the beach, local law enforcement and Air Force personnel worked together to properly dispose of the hazards.

Why are they being slated for destruction, are cannon balls even explosive?
I was wondering the same thing.
