The 2012 hunting season is over :crylol: One smaller display case is completed for 2012 and here comes Season 2013. :crazy:

I thought I would put up a picture of one case I have got done for this season.
It is most of the keepers that I personally like.
I broke the 60 mark for Indian Heads this year and managed to sqeak out over 100 Silvers.

For all that have followed my posts I appreciate it and wish you all well in 2013.
I have appreciated the many PM's and the kind words etc. I have received.
Many-many items are not pictured.
I donated (over 100+) to my local Historical Society who has been so kind to me for many-many years.
I already scrapped out the gold Rings etc. I found as most where unclaimed class rings etc. Two where antique Gold Rings and those where donated to the Historical Society.
I found well over 500 wheat pennies but, those are not worth posting. I also, have a big collection of things like old padlocks. skeleton keys etc. and larger then coin/button sized items I am still sorting through.

I would like to also say thank you to Gary for this forum, the Sponsors that support it and some of the people that donated their time for nothing more then fun.
I would also, like to thank Minelab for producing a great detector that has given me more finds then I had ever found with any other brand since 2000.

Have a Happy New Year and maybe I will see you all around here in 2013 when the snow is gone.

you did a great job on the display case.

Very nice display, Mike. Is the case something you bought? I'm interested in how all the items are attached to the backing, if they are attached. Thanks.

 

[MikeO]

Yes, I purchased it Doug. I got mine from a local.
You can order different ones from off line or many times you can find them at flee markets. They vary in price according to how nice of quality you would like. This one leans more towards the higher end.
As far as the items being attached the awnser is no.The display just has a thick canvas style backing inside and it seems to grip everything fine. It can even be placed in the upright position as well and all stays put except for the minnie balls.
Here are two more pictures so you can see the design better. Thanks for the comments.
