One of the places I've hunted a good bit over the last few years is a lawn of an old early 1800's house that was converted into the professional building. The dentist I go to owns it and has his office there, which is how I got permission. It's produced a lot of newer coins (and an unimaginable number of pulltabs, both of which have to do with it being on a parade route I think), but it's also produced a few older keepers and relics, including a king george II copper, 1 barber half, 1 walking half, couple indians, and a few old buckles and one-piece buttons.
Well, last fall I took a good photo of some of the relics with a number next to each and made a key sheet explaining what each item was and approximate age. I'm not good with art and design stuff, so I gave him the items and description sheet to display, (with advice not to glue the relics to anything and get glue all over them).
Well, I came in this past week for a cleaning, and there's a nice framed display on the waiting room wall, and apparently it's attracted a good bit of interest.
Needless to say, that absolutely made my day.
Going to take another shot at the place with the SEF coils in the next couple months and see if I can come up with anything else worthy of display.
