It’s not a stash of Confederate gold, but what archaeologists from Georgia Southern University discovered at the Camp Lawton Civil War prison site may be more valuable in terms of history. According to a release from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Georgia Southern group has located the prison stockade site and found dozens of personal artifacts left behind by soldiers. Archaeologists call it one of the most significant Civil War discoveries in decades.
