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.
IT'S BEEN A BUSY WEEK AND I WAS VERY SADDENED TO HEAR THAT ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAVORITE ROLE MODELS, HUGH HEFFNER PASSED AWAY. HE WAS A GUY THAT REALIZED THAT LIFE SHOULD BE LIVED ENJOYING THE FINER THINGS IN LIFE. I LOVE THE DOCUMENTARIES ON HIM. HE TOLD HOW HE FOUND HIMSELF IN A DRAB LIFE IN A MARRIAGE THAT HE DIDN'T ENJOY ANYMORE. HE REALIZED THAT HE HAD TO LIVE HIS DREAMS. AND UNLIKE MOST, HE ACTUALLY WENT OUT AND DID LIVE HIS DREAMS. CALL HIM WHAT YOU MAY AND SOME HAVE OVER THE YEARS, HE WAS COOL GUY WHO BUILT AN EMPIRE FOR HIMSELF. IN HIS LATER YEARS, PLAYBOY SEEMED TAME AND SUBSCRIBERS DROPPED OFF. HE LATER SOLD OUT PLAYBOY AND PART OF THE DEAL WAS THAT HE WOULD CONTINUE TO LIVE IN THE MANSION. THE ABOVE LINK IS TO PART ONE OF A SHOW HE PRODUCED IN 1959, PLAYBOY'S PENTHOUSE. I LIKE THIS PERIOD THE BEST BECAUSE IT MARKED THE RISE OF THE PLAYBOY EMPIRE WITH THE CLUBS AND CASINOS. HEFF WOULD DRESS IN THE BEST SUITS AND DRIVE THE BEST CARS. PLAYBOY WAS NOT JUST SOME STAG MAGAZINE. IT WAS A LIFESTYLE OF STYLE, ELEGHENCE AND ENJOYING THE FINER THINGS IN LIFE. HE LIVED THE AMERICAN DREAM. HEFF, WE WILL NEVER FORGET YOU AND YOU STILL INSPIRE US.-THE TIME SEARCHER.
HERE'S A LINK TO A VIDEO THAT I RAN ACROSS REGARDING THE FAMOUS STONEHENGE SITE. THERE HAS BEEN EXTENSIVE SO-CALLED "RESTORATION" IN THE 20TH CENTURY THAT THE BRITISH AUTHORITIES NEVER MENTION IN THEIR LITERATURE ON THIS TOURIST ATTRACTION. WHAT THE VIDEO SHOWS IS THAT STONEHENGE MIGHT NOT HAVE LOOKED LIKE IT LOOKS LIKE NOW. YOU HAVE TO ALWAYS BE CAREFUL AND NOT ALWAYS TAKE ONE SOURCE AS THE GOSPEL IN RESEARCHING HISTORY. -THE TIME SEARCHER
HERE'S VIDEO OF OUR FINDING A COLONIAL ERA BRITISH COPPER AND ANOTHER MUSKET BALL IN OUR LAST HUNT. AS YOU CAN TELL, WE HAD ALOT OF FUN FINDING THESE ITEMS.-THE TIME SEARCHER
Here's a relic condition United States Military Bayonet from World War Two. This item was found on one of our relic hunts. No, we were not on a World War Two site. We were at a colonial era site. After World War Two, large numbers of veterans brought equipment home. Also, we had army surplus stores that had some amazing items that sold World War Two surplus in the 1940's into the 1960's. Alot of hunters used this equipment in the woods of America in their quest for a successful hunt. Surplus rifles, knives, field equipment was used. I believe this bayonet was used and lost by a hunter. This find really wet our appetite to do some World War Two hunting.-The Time Searcher.
HERE'S A VIDEO FROM OUR LAST RELIC HUNT IN AUGUST, 2017. THE COLONIAL RELIC HUNTER FOUND A DROPPED BRITISH BROWN BESS MUSKET BALL AND I FOUND A COLONIAL BUTTON WITH AN UNUSUAL PATTERN ON IT. MORE VIDEO TO COME.-THE TIME SEARCHER
