I have 5 boxes of finds in the bottom of my wardrobe, im starting to find
some half decent things now so im looking to put some in a nice case or
shelf. Theyre NOT all coins so i cant just use a coin box, anyone have any
other ideas? how do you show your good stuff off. (some are as big as
axeheads, in fact some are axe heads)

Secondly, someone once mentioned not to mix dissimilar metals, how do I know
what is copper, bronze, steel, iron (ok, I can guess that one), zinc,
aluminium etc etc so I can seperate them out?

Regards
Lee

Lee,
I told you not to mix metals in a barrelling machine as they all turn
into copper plated or suchlike.
It doesn't hurt to display them together though !

ahh, but I had an old horseshoe i was going to display, i kept it bagged up
with several other peices and now i only have some crumbly metal shards (

Also at weekend I found a half penny, about 60 years old, when i put it in
my finds bag it was the size of a 10p, when I took it out it was the size of
a 20p (

But im going back this Saturday rain or shine to find more )

Lee you simpleton. Do you originate from Cornwall? Don't you pay proper
attention to Jim when he give ya advice?

Nahh everyone, I understand keeping them separate when they're tumbled, but
what about keeping dissimilar metals apart when they are simply bagged or
boxed up? I know at work I have to design-in insulated clips if the metal
differs from the pipe material.
