Thanks for sharing, invent4hir. I especially enjoyed the O'Brien letter opener, the broach, the Model A gas cap, and the gas valve. Way to keep up interest of our hobby!

Tuberale, appreciate your kind words! Sharing finds is one of the best ways to educate others (plus shine a positive light on our hobby).

Excellent displays! And a sincere thank you for sharing the history you recover with others!

TomW, thanks for the kudos :occasion14:

The Curator at the museum often tells me that visitors will often find a couple artifacts that interest them in each display case. By providing 1-2 paragraphs of history on each artifact helps to quench their curiosity.

RVRoamer66, thanks for the compliments. In addition to sharing history and promoting our hobby - it prevents cluttering my home.

You went to a lot of effort and personal expense to preserve/display and then donate your finds. :hello2:

You're definitely passionate about finding and preserving the local history in your area my friend.

Kudos Dave. The area where I find these artifacts is quickly turning into to housing developments. As Elvis sang "Its now or never"! If I don't recover the artifacts in the next year or so - many will be lost.

Thank you Wildcat1750! The display cases I donated last year contained non-metal items such as high-quality flint. While many adults understand the significance flint had to Native Americans and pioneers alike, elementary school children need to be taught. It helps when there is an example for them to look at in person.

Kind of you and nice display. Can't do that in Canada you get in trouble just because you have picked them up... A friend tried it .he said no more it"s a lot of trouble . it's a shame.
