Hey man! I lost that dime in 1985 when I was down there for a preschool picnic! Keep on detecting! Fun stuff

@kbrake36 Those trails in fact are not made by Sherman's troops. They were made by the power company to access right of way to the powerlines.

The actual crossing was in two places. Both several hundred yards downstream of this location. The bridge that was to accomodate the crossing, was scuttled before Sherman's arrival. You can still find the abutements. His troops built a floating bridge just upstream from there, and another group flanked Columbia toward Winnsboro.

Why aren't you looking at Shermans encampment a few hundred yards down river? Hundreds of GREAT Civil War relics are found there annually.

The river depth since the civil war is the same here. The damming of the river has not reduced the flow, since the Saluda still feeds the lake at the same rate as it flowed prior to the dam, and TWO major rivers converge here. Ships were never used here. Flat barges were used to transport goods. The canal was built for the barges to avoid the rocky river.

That "sinker" looked like a bullet from the civil war to me.

[sallyweltrop]

I agree with you. I think it is one 2.

[kbrake36]

I use to have beer parties down there when I was a teen. That trail actually is where General Sherman crossed the river and destroyed Columbia.

[nbeckett]

I've drank many a beer right there where you were standing. I sure miss Columbia down by the river. Great video.

Used to live near the "zoo rapids" in this video. They periodically let water out of the damn. There's big yellow lights that alert you when the water's coming. The rocks you see are completely underwater within minutes, resulting in some really wicked rapids. People kayak in them, but we used to float through them on truck tire tubes. It's extremely dangerous in spots, but hella fun.

[letstalkaboutstuff]

This is cool!

if you got out to sesque park between the pond and the buildings you will find plenty of coins.

[wudjna]
