Saving history one artifact at a time.
Using period maps, military journals, GIS software and network partners, we locate and recover artifacts from our nation’s past. Artifacts are then preserved and shared with landowners, historical societies, or museums.
Recovering and preserving artifacts from the early American and Revolutionary War eras.
Not a business. Location and recovery services are provided as a courtesy at sites with historic significance.
We respect the privacy of landowners and do not share any private information or finds without permission.
About
Phillip Davis, MD
From a young age, I developed an appreciation for the people and events of our past that helped shape America. As a SC native, I’m fascinated by the deep history of our region and enjoy sharing its story with others.
While a medical student at MUSC in Charleston, my classmates and I learned how to detect and treat illness using the latest diagnostic tools and therapy while treating patients compassionately and holding their privacy sacred. With a similar mindset, we use modern technology combined with historical maps. writings and our local network to find and preserve artifacts from our country’s past in order for future generations to enjoy.
Dr. Davis also works in the pharmaceutical industry where he leads the clinical development, launch and support of oncology drug products. Phillip is a 1997 graduate of the University of SC and finished his medical degree at MUSC in Charleston (2004). He lives in Mt. Pleasant, SC with his wife, Angel, and their 3 children. Phillip and Angel have been members of St. Andrews Church in the Old Village since 2002.
