Grounded
American history in the ground of America. American Savage digs up old
artifacts.
Age old buttons off a soldier's uniform, spent bullets and dinted musket
balls from the Civil War, melted down Spanish gold, rusty knives lost for
centuries.
Real objects which once belonged to real people, eons ago.
Forgotten until now.
Some of the history isn't good or happy. Slavery is a touchy topic, even
now. Yet a slave's homemade knife is interesting; his slave tag is priceless.
Bricked up safes in gangster era Chicago tell of a violent and shady
past. Gun toting cops and angry landlords are only one hazard faced by the
digging team. Yet when allowed to dig, the prices are unique and cash raised by
the sale of American history is a welcome bonus to the land owner.
Collectors buy the artifacts, saving them for posterity and historians
of the future.
