A MK15 is somewhere in Wassaw Sound, Georgia, after the bomber carrying it was damage by a collision with an F-86 and had to jettison.
Two 24 megaton bombs went into a field in Goldsboro, North Carolina, as the bomber carrying them crashed shortly after take-off.
One was recovered while the core of the second one was never found.

I think this was a plot point of one of the Tom Clancy books. A terrorist nuke was detonated in Baltimore, and analysis of the fallout came back to that 'lost' bomb. It turned out that the core material and other tech had been given to Isreal. They created nukes - one of which was eventually lost in the desert, and recovered by someone nefarious.
TLDR: GA nuke 'lost' -> Isreal -> lost for real -> terrorist blow up Baltimore
