Riker Cases

[ModernMiner]

I wanted to get some input on where you guys get your Riker display cases from?
It’s been over 10 years since I needed to buy any. I was lucky enough to have a guy close by in Raleigh that sold them, but have since moved away.

Who do you find has the best deals?
I don’t need large quantities. Just <10 in maybe three different sizes.

I like to give a small relic display to people that let me detect their property if I find enough relics.

Thanks for your input,
MM

I saw his site but it looks like he only deals in bulk and the larger sizes.

The last ones i bought were at the K Mart in Greensboro NC years ago had red felt in the bottom. They are long gone. Not sure who sells them now. Good luck!

K-mart? That was back when Abe was president. 🤪
I lived in the Raleigh area for 20 years before moving to Hendersonville in 2012. Close to where you are. 👍

I like your idea of giving the property owner a small display of your finds found on their property!

If you need smaller like a 2"x2"?
Though larger quantity is an issue

I moved from Atlanta in 1992 to Greensboro NC then to Huntsville Alabama in 2016. Did a lot of gold panning in both states!

I gift the Mrs of the permissions a Crotal Bell with a tiny felt ribbon for hanging off the Xmas tree.
(But only the one that were found on their property)

We moved from California to Raleigh in 1992 too. Couldn’t take California anymore. lol.

Great idea!!!

Great idea!!!

They look at it, I explain it, shake it, eye's light up, and a warm smile grows.

OK, so after looking around a bit, these guys seem to have pretty good prices as long as you are buy about s or more of a size. They are fairly close to me and also offer FREE shipping.
I just placed an order.
These things, like everything else, sure have gone way up in price since I last bought some. 😭

Here’s an article I wrote for Western & Eastern Treasures magazine in 2014 about giving relic displays to the property owners.
BTW- if you need a new dart board target or a way to scare of solicitors, that’s my ugly mug on the cover too. 🤮

That’s where I’ve bought mine from recently. I’m outside Raleigh and I just assumed there probably isn’t anywhere local that sells them.

Then i hope they say, get back out there and find some more!

Had one where the women were ga-ga over the bell that the family initials on it.
The farming son walked up-looked-"Geez here I thought you found a big diamond ring"
Grunted and walked off to do more chores.

I used to buy mine from a guy in North Raleigh off of 540 when I lived back there but that was about 12 years ago now. It was an older gentleman who bought them in bulk and would sell them at some shows at the fairgrounds. Not sure he’s around still though as he had to be in his 70’s when I left in 2012. He had cheap prices too.

Lmao! Now that’s funny. 😆
