Inland Empire Relic Hunters

Display of relics at Patterson House Museum that IERH discovered during last years 2015 search.

Our group has been contacted recently by both the US Forest Service and the BLM to assist their archaeologists with recovering relics from historic sites on federal land, which will then be donate to the local museums. Stay tuned for future details.

Lots of good info on this site for cleaning & preserving various materials. Though it is intended for items that have been submerged underwater, the processes described can also be applied to items found in other places. http://nautarch.tamu.edu/CRL/conservationmanual/index.htm

I just spoke to the grounds keeper at the National Archives about the fire hydrant shutoff valve we tried to locate for him. They finally found it .... 200 feet away. Even the "as built" plans showed it in the wrong location, but at the time it was built the inspector passed it. The pipes are made of plastic which is why we could not follow them. This all explains why we were unsuccessful in locating it within the standard code required 15 feet distance...it was not there ! He thanked us again for coming out and is keeping us in his file for any possible future needs he and his company may have.

Just gave the old bottles and other items we recovered from the Ferndale School & Hazlett Adobe privy digs to the president of the Moreno Valley Historical Society.
