NOTICE: 

I now find it neccessary, due to my health, to discontinue my website. I need not tell you how disappointing it is to my wife and I, for we have spent many years collecting and enjoying the history and the study of the civil war. We therefore would like to give you the oppurtunity to submit a reasonable offer on any item that appears on our web. This will go into effect as of July 1st 2010. We would like however to advise that we weren't born yesterday, and we ask that your offers be reasonable so that you do not waste your time or ours. I am now 76 years old and I will deeply miss the camaraderie I have had with all the dealers, shows, and you the collector. Thank you to all that made a dream come true. Dee and Ron

P.S. We would strongly recommend that you phone us rather than send an email should you be interested in any specific item.

ABOUT US

 

Both my wife and I have been collecting and excavating civil war artifacts for the last 32 years.  We have found, not to our choosing however, it necessary to close our shop and museum due to illness.  We have also decided to sell all except for a few items that are dear to us.  The internet gives us an opportunity to sell many of the items that still remain from our collection, including hundreds of items that we excavated and collected. We're sorry to say that many of the excavated or collected items have already been sold.

In the 32 years, we never sold an item we excavated and should an item appear in red, we personally excavated it.  Our web site will enable us to continue buying and selling in the future. The items personally dug by my wife and I are admittedly higher than some of the relic market, but please keep in mind that each item has been dug personally by us and is guaranteed to be so. The location of each item is recorded. It is not our intention to give exactly an X-marks-the-spot, I’m still a digger. But to protect the privacy of the many kind individuals who permitted us to dig on their property is our primary objective. We will attempt to give you as much information as we deem necessary. Thousands of bullets have been excavated by the two of us (along with many other items) and will be put on sale in the future.

We urge you to telephone your orders between the hours of 9:00 AM and 9:00 PM EST except Sundays which we would appreciate your call after 1:00 PM .  Our phone number is 610-409-0296.  If we are not able to answer your call, please leave a message and we will return your call A.S.A.P.
