Nice Dave! how did you get everything to stay in place? is it pressed between the plexi and Styrofoam?

Very nice display case. I see you had plenty of supervision. One of my 7 cats would have been in it and on it and I would never have finished (sanely)!

:shocked03:....I know that is only a small part of your "collection", and I've been admiring your finds over the years (especially through that video you did a few years ago)....but to see such an awesome assortment of fantastic relics...completely blows the mind....

And a great salvage job converting that into a display case too!:thumbsup01:

Great save there Dave! Truly in the spirit of a detectorist, taking something and restoring it to a useful function...!
