Very nice finds everyone! I'd hate to be a Mr. Killjoy, but if you have anything you particularly like or treasure, please consider not having them on display openly in your home. I did that back in 1994 and was robbed - took all of the rings and coins I had found - including my one and only 3 cent silver, and multiple gold rings.

Now, everything is in a safe or a Safe Deposit Box. Just something to consider...

Very good advice.......

I have taken several different precautions to protect my wife and home including multiple alarm systems with backup batteries and multiple cell units. If house loses power and land line phone service, home is still protected.

I have also advised my alarm company if it is ever longer then 30 seconds between time the alarm is sent and I receive call from them I will be looking for a new alarm company. I test it a couple times a month and time the calls, in 5 years it has never taken longer then 30 seconds for them to respond. All alarm equipment in my home is mine....

Home is also protected by Mr Smith and Mr Wesson 9 MM who is always close at hand.

I hear ya! A few months back if it wasn't for the dog I would have ended up face to face with someone who was attempting to come in the living room window. Most of me wishes he would have made it in, but there's always that small % of crazy- life changing things that could happen so probably better he didn't. That happening proved to me my vigilance is justified and it's not just paranoia, so I will make even a greater effort to protect those things that can't be replaced. Something I also did was put myself in the mindset of being a thief and figure out if I took all the right stuff how much I could carry out in one haul. I came up with a loss of about 20k. Little things can add up quick!

Not even two days ago I was in a conversation about displaying finds in the house. I'd have no problem putting most out, but the best few % I'll always have locked away. In the last 10 years on the forums I have seen several posts from long time detector people who got cleaned out. Must be devastating.

Can't, they're the ammo!


You must feel so unprotected.

All the displays and the recoveries made by everyone are just wonderful!!
And seeing all these great relics really makes me wish I had started MD'ing
sooner than I did three years ago.

Around Thanksgiving, my wife said that her two 7' bookcases were now
"off-limits" to the bottles and relics I found last year. . . (even though I built
the bookcases :P ) so then I said I'd build a coffee table display for the family
room that I can put some of my finds in. And she was happy with that idea.

Here are a few pics. . .

 

[Iron Patch]

Yeah I'd drink some coffee there!

This Winter I'm considering throwing something together that's cheap, quick, and easy. I just want somewhere that can hold most of my stuff. With limited know-how and tools, I might just buy a door slab and put it on 6 legs, and buy some felt and glass.
