There's a somewhat analagous US show called "Destination Unknown" hosted by some guy named Josh Gates. It serves to show the differences in US TV versus UK I suppose. In "Destination Unknown", like "Time Team", they create some premise ("the holy grail might still be out there!") but ulike Time Team, which breaks out shovels and spoons and crawlis in the mud for three days, Gates goes to different exotic spots in the world and pretends to explore unexplored areas (I say pretend because they are almost always in an area where there is a real archaeological dig and I doubt they just said "no, we've never been in there. Why don't you take your cameras and tell us what you find?") But it's interesting for the historical context segments as well as the "Indiana Jones" style hyped up explorer drama.
I just searched to see if there was a report for the dig he conducted, and found this .pdf document:
The Search For Francis Marion Continues
I got to know Steve when I was researching the 54th and 55th Massachusetts Volunteer Infantries. I had found his name in a publication for a dig that had been conducted on the bodies that had been found on Folly Island, S.C. That end of the island had been Union headquarters during the Civil War, and it turned out that the bodies were of black soldiers who had served in the 55th Mass, and another U.S.C.T. unit. They were removed and eventually reinterred at the National Cemetery at Beaufort, S.C. in 1989. The publication I'd found hadn't cited any of the first source material that I'd found during my research, and I wondered if he even knew about it. I called him at the college, introduced myself, and told him of my research material. He had never seen any of it, so I shared everything I had with him, met him in person a few times, and he used a lot of my material to publish another report on a dig that he had conducted at the other end of Folly Island where the Union Fort Green had been located, and manned by the 55th. He gave me an acknowledgement in the new publication, and sent me a copy of it. I haven't talked or written to him in ages as I've moved on in my interest in the Civil War, so I don't even know if he is still with USC or not. I gave all my boxes of research material to the National Guard Museum and Archives in Concord, Mass. several years ago as I didn't want it to end up in a dumpster when I died.
