Thanks for sharing, invent4hir. I especially enjoyed the O'Brien letter opener, the broach, the Model A gas cap, and the gas valve. Way to keep up interest of our hobby!

TomW, thanks for the kudos:occasion14: The Curator at the museum often tells me that visitors will often find a couple artifacts that interest them in each display case. By providing 1-2 paragraphs of history on each artifact helps to quench their curiosity.

RVRoamer66, thanks for the compliments. In addition to sharing history and promoting our hobby - it prevents cluttering my home.

Kudos Dave. The area where I find these artifacts is quickly turning into to housing developments. As Elvis sang "Its now or never"! If I don't recover the artifacts in the next year or so - many will be lost.

Thank you Wildcat1750! The display cases I donated last year contained non-metal items such as high-quality flint. While many adults understand the significance flint had to Native Americans and pioneers alike, elementary school children need to be taught. It helps when there is an example for them to look at in person.

Kind of you and nice display. Can't do that in Canada you get in trouble just because you have picked them up... A friend tried it .he said no more it"s a lot of trouble . it's a shame.
