A week at the Carolina Coast

April 1, 2023 by bandeelatwo

We spent a week in late March at our favorite Low Country beach exploring and hunting for all kinds of treasure. Dennis found some nice jewelry while I collected fossils of animals from the Pleistocene. The scale bar is in centimeters.

Cowpens National Battlefield

August 14, 2022 by bandeelatwo

Last week we made a trip to Cowpens National Battlefield for the first time in many years. It is a beautiful place to visit and appreciate the history of the site. We will return in cooler weather to explore further.

“Cowpens National Battlefield commemorates a decisive battle that helped turn the tide of war in the Southern Campaign of the American Revolution.

On this field on January 17, 1781, Daniel Morgan led his army of tough Continentals, militia, and cavalry to a brilliant victory over Banastre Tarleton’s force of British regulars. The battle at the “Cow Pens,” one of only a few successful double envelopments in history, is recognized by historians as one of the most important of the American Revolution.

Coming on the heels of a patriot victory at nearby Kings Mountain on October 7, 1780, Cowpens was the second successive staggering defeat for British forces under General Charles Cornwallis. Only nine months after the battle, Cornwallis was forced to surrender his army to General George Washington at Yorktown, Virginia in October 1781.” (from; nationalparks.org.)

Estimated American casualties – 149,  British – 868

Beach finds

In May 2021 we went to the South Carolina coast. Dennis did well with his new Garrett Sea Hunter Mark II and I found lots of great fossils. Annie had a good time as always!
