We are explorers of New York City’s history. We find artifacts in landfills, construction sites, shorelines, creek, marsh beds, privy vaults and cisterns. Some things are found with a metal detector or by eye on the surface.

We are artists and historians, creating art and jewelry from what we find. We strive to present a small fraction of our city’s past by bringing these objects to light, in the form of a decorative object and wearable art.

We sell our bottles and jewelry at the Grand Bazaar NYC flea market on Sundays.
77^th Street and Columbus Avenue in New York City.

And our Etsy store.
