Don't sell it. Loan it to a museum for a certain length of time so other folks can admire it. Small local ones really appreciate those sort of things. :thumbsup:

What kind of museum?

Felinepeachy · May 15, 2010

Well you could try the local history museum. If you have an historical society, they may be interested too. The little historical society museum where I used to live had a beautiful collection of Indian artifacts from the surrounding area with tidbits of info about each item. I loved it as did many other folks. It's a gorgeous arrowhead and one to be admired. :thumbsup:

A friend of mine lent a few arrows to a museum & never got them back..Either keep it or sell it.

Yes, becareful loaning it to a museum. You can outright donate an item to a museum for tax purposes, I do that all the time.

I've loaned examples of my paleo collection out to university staff before, but I always cross my t's and dot my i's when I do. You have to have a very specifically worded signed/notarized agreement (with pictures of all the items) detailing when/how it will be returned. The person you deal with can get fired, retire, move on, forget, pass away, etc. and then you are left dealing someone else who is going to see you as someone trying to take something from the museum.
