Well I followed Modern Miners fine example and put together a display this winter.
Not as nice as Doug's but it gets a lot of looks I am told.
The history room is in the Sycamore, Ill. library.
It helps when getting permission to hunt new locations when I have pics of the display with me.
I retain possession of the articles but It is better to have them there than in my closet.
They were very pleased to get them and made room in a locked display case.
Best luck my friends, Merf

Very nice displays! Looks like it took a lot of time and effort to create those displays and get those finds! :)

As you may have read, I do the same in the Local Amateur Museum. I'm putting together a buckle display as we speak & I will take out the button display which has been there for some years. (I have 3 large display cases in total) Its nice to find but its better to share :thumbsup:

Yes it is good to share and it really sparks the history buffs.
Your display has got to be fantastic with those great finds you make at those medieval sites. :thumbsup:

Absolutely true.


Congratulations, Merf--that is a wonderful display. The bat wing buckle captures my imagination. One day, I will find one. :)


Best Wishes to you this spring window. I can't wait to see what you find.



Regards,


Buckles

Merf, Merf, Merf,
You sir are a class act. Do you know what your displays have that mine don't? GOOD finds and LOTS of old coins. ;D :wink:
Those displays are super buddy. :thumbsup:
Glad you're putting them out for others to enjoy. Your displays I mean. :tongue3:
Thanks for sharing & I'm looking forward to seeing you clean those fields out this year.

Very nice Merf,I agree I dont have the room to properly display your finds and it is great to have a museum that is willing to display them for you,you also dont have to worry about somebody breaking in to your house and relieving you of them!!!Very nice coin collection too!!
