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.

1770's British Rifleman's Wood & Iron Canteen Flask found by our very own Colonial Relic Hunter

The Colonial Relic Hunter was at it again searching for some old relics on the world wide web, because we hunt anywhere we can.  Below is his write up of this amazing 1770's British Rifleman's wood & iron Canteen Flask find.  If you haven't already, go on over and check out his account where you can find more pictures here, or you can check out his YouTube Channel for other hunts, which is conveniently located here, and don't forget to subscribe to keep up to date on all things Colonial Relic Hunter.

"Here is the newest Rev War Era artifact added to my collection.. This is an Nice 1770's British Rifleman's wood & iron Canteen Flask that actually came from Edinburgh, Scotland.   I just love history and the story the artifacts have to tell us. This is one i sought out for a longtime and now it's here plus i have a special connection to this one too because i was born in Scotland and raised there..But anyways this Canteen has been in Scotland all these years and now here in the States. I hope you all like the canteen and it takes us back in time and wonder the stories it has to tell.."
