Put some of my finds on loan at local museum.

[coinman123]

Anyways, on Sundays after talking to the curator I finally got around to bringing my finds to the museum. I chose a bottle made in my town in the late 1800's, my sundial, two colonial whiskey spigots, my 1906 1912 and 1934 dog licences, and my WWI Dog Tags (I was happy to get an email with an article about the man who lost them and his regiment, I even got a photo of him in military gear, I don't completely remember but I think he may have been wearing those tags , he passed away in around 1979 and his name is on a Veterans Memorial in my town).

Anyways, He also emailed me telling me that he wants my finds at a special new section of the museum for new acquisitions at the town hall. He also asked me if I would like to do a interview for the town Newspaper talking about my finds and that they are at display at the museum, he said that the interview may help bring more people to visit the new section of the museum. I agreed to it.

Anyways, Thanks for looking!

Here's my sundial which will be on display at the museum.

What a great way to give back to the community that you live and search in. I have done the same with my artifacts at the yearly archaeology month festivities here. I actually was allowd to set up my table with displays open for those who want closer looks and feels...with me siting there of course. Although I had never thought about it, having business cards made to give out wouldn't be a bad idea. Way to go coinman, you are alright.

Don't worry, You would get the first one . Then I hope you will never be late again... except maybe on a cloudy day.

Wouldn't that be great! The curator said that if he finds any old spots he will let me hunt there.

A little, still have not heard when it will be. I'm sure it will go great, as long as they do not put my treasure spots in the paper
