Some collect history. Others spend a lifetime uncovering it.

We are pleased to present an extraordinary private collection assembled over decades by a passionate metal detectorist and devoted student of American military history.

From the battlefields of the American Revolution to the bloody campaigns of the Civil War and the military history of the 20th century, this collection tells a remarkable story through the objects that history left behind.

Imagine holding an iron cannonball attributed to a Civil War battlefield, examining artifacts associated with the Revolutionary War defenses of the Hudson Highlands, or discovering the extraordinary details preserved in a collection of battlefield buckles, buttons, artillery fragments, and military equipment.

These are tangible connections to the past, not simply objects on a shelf.

Highlights include Revolutionary War relics attributed to Fort Montgomery and other historic locations, Civil War artillery and battlefield artifacts associated with Gettysburg, Petersburg, Chancellorsville, and Weldon Railroad, along with military insignia, historic uniforms, equipment, books, photographs, and memorabilia spanning multiple generations.

Many pieces retain handwritten collector identifications and location attributions, offering fascinating insight into the history of the collection.

Whether you're an established militaria collector, a devoted American history enthusiast, or someone who has always dreamed of owning a genuine piece of the past, this sale offers an unusual opportunity to explore a lifetime of discoveries.

History has been uncovered. Now it's your turn to discover it.
