Noticed the labels even have date ranges. I understand you hunt great sites and that research a key factor, but still quite a few man hours needed in order to put together a display like this
When you display at museums will it state that the collection is on display courtesy of 'Crusader'? Also, when you Brits find stuff you sell to the museums will they mention where/when and who found it? Just curious on how that works.

Yes it takes a lot of time.
Generally, MDers don't sell to Museums. They get the best stuff via the Treasure system which means they have the 'right' to buy & we have no choice to refuse. ie. they pay the market value for items which have been declared treasure under the terms of the Act. Most of the time they hand stuff back. I have no idea if they name you, if they display it
The museum I'm involved in is only a small amatuer affair which until I joined mainly displayed photographic & reference documents. I don't have my 'credits' on the displays as I don't want any unwanted attention, plus I'm not a glory hunter (well except on here, it seems)
