Whites VX3 w 950 and 10DD coils. Garret AT-Pro w 8.5X11 and 4in sniper coil. Garret Propointer. Lake Jackson TX.

I would sell it on EBAY in one package.

Another idea....Go to one of those resale shops that sell used items (not just jewlery) and ask the owner if they can show your stuff in their display case.

Think I'm finally home after a lot of years searching for my particular needs. Custom 1.5 lb lighter Sovereign GT (easy to do by just "building" lighter shaft) & SEF 12x10 as everyday coil. 8" Tornado (actually 7.25") as super heavy trash coil (Very deep & separates better than typical 8/9" true size coils). 13" Ultimate for large fields/beaches on certain days I want to grid faster than even the 12x10's nice improvement over stock for that. Stock 10" Tornado stays on water rig (stock shaft). ProPointer. Owned 15x12 & SunRay S-5 (5.5") at one time. Loaned a prior 13" Ultimate & SunRay S-12 (12.5").

Some Oldest Silver- 1835 Bust Dime, 1842 "O" Seated Dime, 1855 Seated Quarter, 1858 3 Cent Piece, 1891 Seated Dime, & another Seated Quarter too damaged to read date. Highest Value- 3 Cent Piece, Seated Quarter, & now 1921 F-12 Standing Liberty. Oldest Coin? Got to give large cents a good look & see. 2013 so far- 1 Seated Quarter, 1 Barber Quarter, 1 Standing Liberty, 2 Washingtons, 1 Barber Dime, 9 Mercs, 3 Rosies. 1 War Nickel. 19 silvers in total, & 1 1872 key date Indian, 2 Bufallos, 1 man's 14K gold medium sized ring & 1 gold chain, with possibility of few 8"+ deep mystery coins being Indians after cleaning.

What matters in life is the journey and not the desitination. How you handle that journey determines if you were a success, not so much what you achieved if and when you finally get there, especially if you made it by stepping on people along the way...

In loving memory of my long haired (wooly) husky Sky. She taught me just how beautiful and pure a soul can be, human or not...

I keep them in a small treasure box and let my kids play pirates with it.

Garage Sale!!! Or use them as give-aways to kids at a garage sale. That way, you can find it again when THEY lose it

Had a friend that used his junk jewelry to decorate minature christmas trees (he'd make a "tree" from a small spruce or fir branch, nail that branch to a small piece of wood which he had covered with some green or red felt.) He then sold these trees as christmas decorations and did quite well at it. I always gave him my junk jewelry to add to what he found - I thought his little enterprise was kina neat but I'm too lazy to put forth that effort. After my friend quit detecting, I donate my stuff to a bunch of ladies at the local senior center to use as craft supplies. I have no idea what they do with it.

Some good ideas here thanks. I like the one about pirates but have no young kids.And I've lost my eyepatch.

I say bury it in different locations and let some other hunters get there thrill in finding it!

My wife does some art work with it and manages to sell it. You can sell it on etsy at a better price the you'll ever get on fee bay. Etsy caters to artists and you can set up an account and sell them in lots as "found objects". There are artists who love this stuff. That's what we do with what she doesn't use.
