It's my belief that Mr. Preiss chose his words very carefully. Let's take "embedded" for example. I believe it has a purpose other than telling you the casque is buried in sand. I believe "bed" is important to the solution.
Here are a few possibilities...
* Is the casque buried outside a historical bedroom? * Related to Washington Slept Here? * A historical bed and breakfast?
Any others?

Maybe a shrub/flower bed, like in Cleveland. Even though the rules say otherwise. |

That's a strange way of describing a bed of sand. Why "THE sand"?

White Point land was sandy..
"As the population of urban Charleston grew, however, so too did the physical limits of the town. In April 1725, the provincial government of South Carolina ordered the owners of the sandy land at White Point to stake out their respective waterfronts with a line of wooden pilings and ballast stones to begin the long process of creating a hard line between the water and dry land."

There is a wide unpaved pathway beside South Battery. It reminds me of a road bed. It's deep on the east battery end. It could have been filled with sand. it's across from the twin stairs and the white house.

I’ve heard that JJP was particularly fond of Salvador Dali. There is a painting by Dali called “Remorse, or Sphinx Embedded in the Sand“...maybe it’s the inspiration for that verse line?

Besides Sphinx has body of lion. We have the head in the image. So unite them and you have a typical statue of lion. Look for a place with that. I've seen water fountains like that.

Interestingly the yearbook for The Citadel is called “The Sphinx”....

This is good stuff everyone. Thanks for the contributions.
As I laid down last night to go to sleep, guess what idea popped into my mind to search? Really. Guess. Because I can't remember.

We didn't mention seabed, although highly unlikely. If the the "bed' from embedded is a clue, then maybe the capital "F" in the word fair (which should not be capitalized) is also. F + bed could literally be Flower bed.

"Embed" also has military connotations which doesn't hurt some of your solves.
