What Do You Do With Your Finds?

[Jonola (Jon)]

Do you display them? Do they collect dust in a drawer? Wha do you do with your best finds and what do you do with your "Unidentifiables"? Sell it? Put it in the garage? I am interested in knowing what other people do.

Personally the only thngs I have on display are about thirty roman coins. When my local pub shut I talked the (Ex) landlord into letting me have the green baize from when the pool table was recovered. My nice coins are now to be seen framed and on a lovely green background.

I used to display  mine until the cabinet developed rickets and the legs started bending . I now just display a few of the more interesting bits .

The vast amounts of faceless half pennies and pennies and other grot are in a bucket in the garage - enough to sink a battleship!  Will soon need another bucket ......... The coins and artefacts that are nice to look at are in a display case that I won in a raffle when I was a member of R.A.R.E

TO  BE HONEST  MOST OF WHAT I FIND ENDS OP IN THE BIN AS ITS RUBBISH  ON THE RARE OCCASION I HAPPEN TO FIND A COIN I PUT IT IN A COIN COLLECTION WALLET I BAUGHT (I NOW HAVE  2 COINS IN THERE )

All the artefacts and coins you see on my web page I gave to the chairman of the Wrexham Heritage Society.for his contribution to my Society that I started a few years ago.
I know that my family were not interested although my wife thought  it a peculiar thing to do but I needed somewhere where they would be safe.

I have my suspciions that the chaiman knew the value of them really and never returned them before  I resigned as President. .

That's the driest wit I've heard for a long time...I'm still laughing now.

Kept all of my georgian grots until I filled a two litre ice cream carton, then buried them in a place where they will be totally out of context 
Most of the other bits and pieces I find go to the local museum.
