If you have ever built a shadow box for your finds, I'd love to see you post a pic of it, along with a brief description of your design and mounting method.

I was thinking of using foam to mount, but I'm still stuck on how to keep them on the foam. I really want to avoid glue if I can.

The design I end up choosing will house the relic finds from the very old meetinghouse/burial ground area for when I donate them to the local Mennonite Heritage Museum.

Thanks! 8-)


P.S. Coffee table shadow boxes are welcome for a future project but I'm specifically looking for wall boxes.

That is an awesome idea. And very well done. Thanks for posting.

Looking for wall boxes in particular.

That's amazing!
 

I bought a riker case and customized it. I took the white stuff out and API replaced it with felt. I used pins to keep the felt down. Also used pins to keep buttons in place.

I want one now really bad!!!!!
 

Well you see a storage box for my finds would be a waste........ Of all the years i have hunted the only thing i have kept is my first find ....... And for all those years i have sold or donated all my finds every thing...... Like i said before i am not a collector......or hoarder....... Things setting around just to look at does not thrill me and to me is just clutter.........
