What a bunch of bullshit.  I copied 3 paragraphs from the article and its as though the people writing this and doing the destroying have subhuman IQs if they can write paragraph 1 and follow it up with paragraph 3 below:

"More than 190 cannonballs were detonated recently within park boundaries with help from other federal agencies. No more unexploded ordnances have been found so far.

?The park continues to monitor the area for newly discovered munitions and will secure the site(s) should any be found in the future,? said Darrell Echols, Gulf Islands National Seashore superintendent. ?Our goal is to ensure that the area is safe for the visitors and staff, and that cultural resources are protected.?

Munitions found within national park boundaries are considered cultural artifacts and are protected by law. It is illegal for the public to harm, deface, damage, or remove these item"

The park service can destroy historical artifacts, that's ok. But pick up a bullet you eyeballed and get caught, see what happens.
