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.

FUNNY AS A CRUTCH-A SET OF CIVIL WAR ERA CRUTCHES

Here's a photo of a set of civil war era crutches that I picked up with some other civil war items.  As you can see, the medical equipment was not as good as what we have today.  A lot of veterans of the American Civil war lost arms and legs.  Indeed, a bullet in the leg or arm usually involved having a surgeon cut it off with only whiskey as a pain relief for the patient.  Less than sterile conditions resulted in loss of limbs that the actual wounding did not.  You have to admire the courage and dedication that the soldiers in the civil war had when you go out and relic hunt looking for these items of the past.-The Time Searcher.
