I have been fascinated with the past all my life. Although time travel is not possible (at least, as far as I know), we can still experience it through what I call "relics of the fourth dimension." Namely, as the old saying goes, "time marches on." We can't travel in the fourth dimension, except going forward in the present, but we can follow the trail of the fourth dimension. Along the way, people lose or discard items from their being. These relics are unintentional time capsules that give us as glimpse into their lives. Here on The Time Searchers blog, I will show some relics of the past that I have run across in our present. Sometimes when I am out on a relic hunt with the Colonial Relic Hunter, we know that we are not alone. There is more than just relics at these historical sites. Indeed, it could be said that there is a portal to the past, perhaps to another dimension, where that which once was, still is. A place where the real consorts with the shadows; the present fuses with the past, on Time Searchers: Ghost Relics.

The Men Who Relic Hunt America


Above is an old photograph taken locally in Western Pennsylvania.

It reminds me of some places that me and the Colonial Relic Hunter have been to in the past.  Mostly, we are searching for 19th and 20th century layers of finds to get to the earlier 18th century items.  But, there are interesting 19th and 20th century items to find too.  Old bottles and coal company tools are my favorites.

This picture reminds me of the History Channel's mini series entitled, "The Men Who built America."  Indeed, we live and metal detect in the heart of Andrew Carnegie's and Henry Clay Frick's old stomping grounds.  All of the rich history that surrounds us makes for the potential of a great day's relic hunting.

Until next time fellow history hunters!!
