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 Lion Livery Button Found at the Lost Colonial Village.



     Here's a 1770's British Lion Livery Button that I found at the Lost Colonial Village.  Livery stables were important in the colonial times here in North America.  Horses were the mode of transportation for these early settlers.  The horseless carriage (automobiles) were over a hundred years into the future.  This button is an nice example.  It featured a gilt finish with the full image of a lion.  These buttons usually had an animal or crown on it.  The buttons were on livery uniform jackets worn by carriage drivers or horsemen.  This button find will be part of an upcoming Time Searchers video on the billtherelic youtube channel on youtube.-The Time Searcher.
