Aug. 20, 2013, Daufuskie Island, S.C. – Haig Point and Bloody Point on Daufuskie Island will be the focus of a half-hour “Diggers” program beginning at 8:30 p.m. Wednesday (Aug. 21) on the National Geographic Channel. The episode entitled “Pirate Island Gold” is the result of archaeological diggers having visited the island for five days earlier in the year. They began their search at Rose Hill Plantation on Hilton Head Island. Tim “Ringy” Saylor and “King” George Wyant are the stars of the popular show that combines history and humor. During the dig among the historic Tabby ruins, they uncovered buttons from Civil War troops and an antique brass lamp. Union troops camped on Daufuskie Island during the Civil War and historical records indicate that Blackbeard may have stored treasures on the Island. T
