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.

ANOTHER TIME SEARCHERS' METAL DETECTING THE WAY IT USED TO BE- 1972 WHITES ELECTRONICS DEALER SIGN STICKER



    HERE'S ANOTHER TIME SEARCHERS' METAL DETECTING: THE WAY IT USED TO BE.  THIS PHOTO SHOWS A 1972 WHITES ELECTRONICS DEALER SIGN STICKER THAT THE LOCAL METAL DETECTOR DEALER WOULD DISPLAY IN HIS STORE WINDOW OR A SIGN OUTSIDE.  WHITES ELECTRONICS WAS THE BIGGEST AND BEST MANUFACTURER OF MACHINES IN THOSE DAYS.  THIS WAS BEFORE THE MULTI-FREQUENCY MACHINES OF TODAY.  GARDINER ELECTRONICS MADE SOME EXPENSIVE MACHINES THEN THAT FEATURED VLF DISCRIMINATION.  BUT, IT WAS WHITES THAT REALLY BROUGHT IT TO THE METAL DETECTORISTS (THIS IS A BRITISH TERM LATER ADOPTED BY AMERICANS, THEN WE CALLED OURSELVES TREASURE HUNTERS).  THERE WERE OTHER COMPANIES LIKE D-TEX, COMPASS, BOUNTY HUNTER AND THE WANNA BE WHITES COMPANY-GARRETT ELECTRONICS THAT RAN WHITES PRODUCT INNOVATIONS DOWN IN THEIR ADVERTISING BUT SEEMED TO COME OUT WITH THE SAME FEATURES YEARS AFTER WHITES DID.  EXAMPLE: 1982 GARRETT MASTER HUNTER 2 WITH VLF DISCRIMINATION. I GUESS IT TOOK TIME TO REVERSE ENGINEER A PRODUCT AND TRY TO FIGURE A WAY AROUND THE PATENTS.  A FUN TIME IN METAL DETECTING BEFORE THE MASS MARKETING, REALITY SHOW ENVIRONMENT OF TODAY.-THE TIME SEARCHER.
