Graves and a Cannon Ball
« on: March 06, 2013, 09:54:45 PM »
Hello,

Anyone who has been to the Charleston Relic Show knows that for years it's been held at the Gaillard Auditorium until a major construction project caused it to move to Mount Pleasant 2 years ago.  The construction project is well underway and in the course of digging they have so far found 12 bodies and a cannon ball:

I remember hearing of a large (100-lber or 200-lber) Parrott being found there some years ago when some utility work was being done.
Best,
Carl
