THE BIG GUN ARRIVED TODAY-MY BIG 15 INCH---ER AH---SEARCH COIL

I WAS GLAD TO SEE THAT THE BIG SEARCH COIL I ORDERED HAD ARRIVED TODAY.  THE TIME SEARCHERS ARE SCHEDULED TO RETURN TO THE LOST COLONIAL VILLAGE NEXT WEEK AND THIS COIL ARRIVED JUST IN TIME FOR THIS OUTING.  AS SOME PEOPLE HAVE NOTED.  WE ARE A LOW BUDGET SHOW AND WE USE OLD EQUIPMENT THAT WE HAVE USED FOR YEARS.  I THOUGHT THAT I WOULD TRY OUT SOME AFTERMARKET COILS AND FOUND A SOURCE THAT COULD PROVIDE ME SOME BIGGER COILS FOR OUR OLD TROY MACHINES THAT WENT OUT OF PRODUCTION OVER TEN YEARS AGO.  I TOOK A SMALLER ONE OUT WITH US LAST MONTH AND I DID GREAT.-THE TIME SEARCHER.

FRANCE-THE TIME SEARCHERS TAKE-THE FRENCHIES SHOULD VOTE FOR LE PEN SO FRANCE MAY LIVE

 YES, I KNOW THAT WE SHOULD NOT TALK POLITICS.  HOWEVER, AS HISTORIANS WE LOVE THE EUROPEAN COUNTRIES THAT WE HAVE STUDIED ALL OUR LIVES.  YES, THE FRENCH CAN BE RUDE.  YES, ALL THOSE POLITICIANS  OVER THERE ARE SOCIALISTS. WHICH WE HATE.  BUT, YOU HAVE TO TAKE THE LESSER OF THE EVILS OUT THERE.  LE PEN WANTS TO DEFEND HER HERITAGE AND CULTURE AS OPPOSED TO THE UNELECTED OFFICIALS OF THE EUROPEAN UNION WHO WANT AND ARE GIVING THEIR COUNTRIES AWAY.  SO, LE PEN GETS THE TIME SEARCHERS ENDORSEMENT FOR THE UPCOMING FRENCH PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.  VIVA LA FRANCE.  ALSO, I MISS THE RIVERA AND HOPE THAT IT IS STILL THERE WHEN I DO GET A CHANCE TO GO BACK.-THE TIME SEARCHER.

A TIME SEARCHER TRIBUTE TO A INSULT COMEDY LEGEND-DON RICKLES "CRAP GAME" KELLY'S HEROES

I WAS GOING TO DO A TRIBUTE TO THE 1970 CLASSIC FILM "KELLY'S HEROES" AT SOME POINT.  BUT, THE COLONIAL RELIC HUNTER CALLED ME AND TOLD ME THAT OUR OLD FRIEND, DON RICKLES HAD PASSED AWAY.  WE LOVED HIS COMEDY AND THE KELLY'S HEROES FILM IS ONE OF OUR OLD FAVORITES.  I HAVE EVEN JOKED ON OUR SHOW THAT I AM THE "CRAP GAME" OF OUR OUTFIT, THE TIME SEARCHERS.  DON RICKLES WAS IN A CLASS BY HIMSELF.  HE COULD INSULT PEOPLE AND THEY WOULD LAUGH WITH HIM INSTEAD OF BEING INSULTED.  IN KELLY'S HEROES HE PLAYED THE SUPPLY SARGENT CALLED "CRAP GAME", HIS CHARACTER PROVIDED THE INTELLIGENCE AND EQUIPMENT FOR KELLY (CLINT EAST WOOD) AND THEIR INFANTRY SQUAD SARGENT (TELLY SAVALAS) WITH THE SUPPLIES FOR THEM TO GO AFTER THE NAZI GOLD.  CRAP GAME EVEN ARRANGED ARMOR SUPPORT FROM ODDBALL (DONALD SUTHERLAND).  A GREAT COMEDY WAR FILM THAT FIRED MY IMAGINATION AS A KID.  I PUT TWO OTHER CLIPS DOWN BELOW TO SHOW HOW DON PLAYED HIS CHARACTER, (YES, I AGREE WITH THE COLONIAL RELIC HUNTER THAT MY BACK OFFICE LOOKS LIKE CRAP GAME'S OFFICE IN THE SUPPLY DEPOT.) WE WILL MISS YOU DON RICKLES-THE TIME SEARCHER

HERE'S DON RICKLES CLASSIC ART OF DEAL CLIP:  MAYBE HE'S A REPUBLICAN.

1936 DODGE AUTOMOBILE INSTRUMENT PANEL-OLD TIME GARAGE FIND

LIKE I SAID. I THINK THIS YEAR WILL BE A GREAT ONE FOR RELIC FINDS.  HERE'S A 1936 DODGE AUTOMOBILE INSTRUMENT PANEL THAT I FOUND YESTERDAY IN AN OLD TIME AUTOMOBILE REPAIR FACILITY THAT WENT OUT OF BUSINESS DECADES AGO.  I HAVE NOT CLEANED IT UP YET.  IT STATES "FLOATING POWER" ON THE BIG SPEEDOMETER IN THE MIDDLE.  THIS WAS A DODGE PROMOTIONAL SLOGAN THAT STARTED IN 1932 AND RAN TO 1939.-THE TIME SEARCHER
