@AncientAdventures and I were out exploring, looking for a place to collect and we came across a spot where they were cool enough to let us look around. We quickly realized there were not any fossils to be found, but after a few minutes with eyes on the ground we recognized the tell-tale signs of Native Americans. All of it was concentrated in a rather small area so we believe this was some kind of camp site. We found pottery with different kinds of designs, lots of different styles of arrowheads, stone tools, and gobs of percussion flakes. This was a truly rare discovery for us because Native American Sites are very rare to find in the lowcountry area of South Carolina around Charleston. We will find ten sites to collect fossils before we find one with artifacts. Even places that look like they might be good for artifacts usually turn out to be duds, so we hunted this site as often as we could over a two month period and we made some great finds, saving quite a bit of history. Thanks to the generous owner of this spot who allowed us to pick up rocks to our hearts' content! I realize this is not the content you're used to on this channel, but I hope you understand my excitement with this site and why I shared it! I love all kinds of collecting and I'm lucky enough to live in a place that is stuffed with goodies, ranging in age from fossils millions of years old, Native American artifacts thousands of years old, and colonial relics which are hundreds of years old. Charleston is a collectors dream!
