I have been asked to set up a display for the 150th anniversary of Canada, I have a few displays that I am proud of. These things came out of the ground and this is a way to show people that history counts, the pictures were taken in my messy garage, sorry about the mess.
I believe you can make a great presentation, your finds and reaching back into history. I'm sure your displays will please everyone who attends. Good job, and here comes the creativity - where you draw them in. I'd take a box of finds which didn't make the display cases. Just imagine the conversations you'll have.
