you had a good turn out Title: Re: some new museum exhibition pix Post by: hedgehog on July 04, 2009, 10:49:05 PM That's an impressive display Al, must have taken a lot of time to decide what and how and thousands of hours of detecting!
Title: Re: some new museum exhibition pix Post by: waltonbasinman on July 05, 2009, 05:46:02 AM What an impressive display Al. You must be very proud. I plan on a visit later on in the week and look forward to it.
Title: Re: some new museum exhibition pix Post by: Al.Thepastfinder, ( Alan ) on July 05, 2009, 06:52:31 AM HI Paul, yes i am Mate, its not many who can say they have had their finds on display in a museum like this, even though its only a small part of the collection.
they are still looking to try and buy a replica axehead or axeheads to show people what they were like as new and for people to hold, they may have to hold some of mine on the 18th when i'll be talking to a group down there, then on to a Roman Marching camp. more on that nearer to the time, i was thinking if i knew when you'd be going down i'd try and meet you down there, but other than calling in with my 2 young grandsons on Monday, and nipping in at 10 on wednesday i can't see me getting another chance this week mate, All the best Now Alan Title: Re: some new museum exhibition pix Post by: Stig(The) on July 05, 2009, 11:13:25 AM Are your finds staying in the museum Alan? I will have to try to get down there one saturday & have a look at your great finds.
