    Those are always the coolest to me. I found one in the swamp in Lee County. Jars in the case still. Puncture holes in the drums. Guessing the law found it...

    Id be interested to know if anyone here knows the story behind the hill that sits behind the camp stove site in Indigo. I've camped there numerous times and always wonder the story behind that little hill. It was obviously a home site of some sort because there are numerous piles of brick around it. I would imagine it may have had something to do with when they cut that swamp for the hydro electric project.

    May have to do with the big fuller's earth vein that runs through the area.

    After you hang the signs up in your man cave you can use the post to help build a Deerstand. At least that's what my buddy told me

    That's pretty cool. I've got one of the original prints of the Weems addition to Francis Marion. It describes the meal of sweet potatoes. He was known to embellish stories.. probably not much as they think of that meal. I sat up years back and carefully read that thing hopefully without damaging it too much. I had to read it though. And don't y'all nerds point that out, I don't think I've really read anything since.

    Those SC Dispensary bottles are worth some coin. These are some neat finds!

    I found a piece of one in the rocks underneath the Gervais street bridge while I was fishing. Almost all of the Dispensary emblem and lettering intact. That's as close as I've come.

    The very existence of flame-throwers proves that some time, somewhere, someone said to themselves, You know, I want to set those people over there on fire, but I'm just not close enough to get the job done.
