Civil War cannonballs surfaced on the Lowcountry coast Sunday morning after Hurricane Matthew's trek through South Carolina. 

Charleston County Sheriff's Office officials said their bomb squad and the US Air Force Explosive Team responded to Folly Beach to evaluate the discovery of what appeared to be an "old Civil War ordnance."

Authorities announced Sunday night that a number of the cannonballs were detonated by the Air Force and a small amount of them would be transported to the Naval Base.
