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.

1960's HIPPIE FLOWER POWER GERMAN HELMET GROOVY BABY YEAH!







HERE'S SOME PHOTOS OF A VINTAGE 1960'S HIPPIE FLOWER POWER HELMET THAT A GUY PAINTED UP.  I RECENTLY ACQUIRED A COLLECTION OF WORLD WAR TWO ITEMS THAT INCLUDED SOME GERMAN HELMETS INCLUDING THIS ONE.  IT IS A M42 HEER HELMET THAT WAS A US ARMY VETERAN BROUGHT BACK.  LATER HIS SON GOT A HOLD OF IT AND PAINT IT UP WITH THE HIPPIE DESIGNS.  I WOULD RATHER IT HAD BEEN LEFT IN ITS ORIGINAL STATE LIKE THE M35 GERMAN HELMET IN THE PICTURE THAT WAS PART OF THE SAME COLLECTION.  BUT, IT IS A RELIC OF THE ANTIWAR PROTESTS DURING THE VIETNAM WAR.  AS MUCH AS I DON'T LIKE ORIGINAL PERIOD ITEMS BEING ALTERED, A PART OF HISTORY TOO.-THE TIME SEARCHER.
