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.

D-DAY ANNIVERSARY AND REESE WITHERSPOON'S GRANDDAD'S WORLD WAR TWO TRAINING HELMET?



TODAY IS THE 72ND ANNIVERSARY OF D-DAY, THE JUNE 6, 1944 INVASION OF HITLER'S FORTRESS EUROPE.  I AM WORKING ON A VIDEO OF UNPUBLISHED PERSONAL PHOTOGRAPHS TAKEN BY A SOLDIER SHORTLY AFTER THE D-DAY INVASION.  BUT, WITH MY SCHEDULE, IT HAS  BEEN TOUGH TO WORK ON THAT AND EVEN DO BLOG ENTRIES.  I GOT OUT LAST MONTH WITH THE COLONIAL RELIC HUNTER AND WE MADE SOME GREAT FINDS.  VIDEO AND STILL SHOTS WILL BE COMING SOON.  HERE IS A VERY RECENT FIND I MADE A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO.   IT IS A WORLD WAR TWO U.S. ARMY BASE/TRAINING HELMET (HELMET LINER) THAT BELONGED TO A SECOND LT. D. WITHERSPOON.   AND I WONDER IF HE WAS REESE WITHERSPOON'S GRANDDAD.  I DON'T KNOW AND I HAVE NOT RESEARCHED IT YET.  REMEMBER THE SACRIFICES THAT THOSE BRAVE ALLIED MILITARY PERSONNEL MADE ON THAT FATEFUL DAY SEVENTY TWO YEARS AGO AND AFTERWARDS. -THE TIME SEARCHER.
