Now I just need to find some cool items... I had a few relics over the years that I showed pictures to them and they of course already had non-dug examples. They were pretty nice about the whole thing, but I think there still is an underlying "metal detecting people are hacks" syndrome that these people have.
With what you have been finding "up North" is something I would certainly bring to them in person to help identify. Univ of MI has a good Anthro Department.
