got a little cabinet for free had too cut some of the shelves out of plexiglass..not too sure if o like the mirror in back ..kinda gives you a false sense of more relics than they actually are..but here a few pics

Nice. I actually like the mirror to see the backs of the items. For example, seeing the artillery shell from the fuse end and then seeing the sabot end in the mirror adds to the display of items like this.

Dfxcobb, I really like your display case. My case like yours, has a back mirror. Like Megalodon stated, it gives you a better view of your relics. Your display looks great. Now all we have to do is to continue to fillem' up. Lol

Great job DFX , you have some nice quality relics there.

I'm still procrastinating on my display , keeping everything by site found makes displaying a little harder for me .

Again Great Job , Merry Christmas

I wish my mom, and dad would have taken out the old cabinet from our old home. Broken_detector, and I had that 3-4 tier cabinet full of Civil War relics.

Dfxcobb, I hope you and folks were spared from some of those bad storms that passed through your area yesterday and on through the night.

Great job you have a great appreciation for your finds as do I though mine arent half as cool. Great job. Merry Christmas

Dfxcobb · Dec 19, 2019

no we wasnt spared the storms. there where 2 fatalities pretty close..so sad

Dfxcobb · Dec 19, 2019

but I cant help to wonder how much did the weather play apart in the CW. There had to be tornados, flash floods,..ect. Does anybody know if any CW soldiers died due to mother nature

Thoughts and Prayers to you all down there!!

Funny you mention this as I’ve spoke of it many times to others due to my extensive knowledge in tornado genesis, and I will say there are documented cases at the NWS of tornadoes during that period. Somehow many where unscathed due to them fleeing like ants on foot, and horseback, or having an area of breastworks, caves, bluff shelters they could hide within. There were definitely some casualties, but more so with the animals, and camp equipment. There’s a camp we hunt that was hit by a tornado, and you can tell it for sure because one it was documented, and two when you detect it, it’s like a disaster area when looking for good objects. Just imagine a small town lined with tents, and wooden huts that gets hit by a tornado, and what it would be like to detect in an area like that. Take about a 1/8 of a section of where the Joplin tornado hit, and try to detect that. It would be nearly impossible to locate good targets that weren’t mixed in with so much trash it would be hard to discern what was good, and bad.
