I know that quite a few of the detectorists on this site a large collections of finds some of which have been recorded some, not but my question is after your days what would you like to happen to the finds that you have made? If going to be left to a musemum which one and why

I have wondered the same. Interesting question.

I might take mine, dig a big hole in a field and bury the lot as my own personal Hoard to perplex Metal detectorists and Archaeologists for years to come Grin

Have always said Dave that when I move on My better half can give it all to the local museum and my 1700 books to the county archaeological unit. God it will free up some space at home though.

this is a huge issue as many museums are under threat of closure and its not unknown for their collections to be put into storage for a few years and then sold off later on.

its a clever way of asset stripping our heritage.

best way is to loan it to the museum, but make sure u have a legal contract to ensre return of the finds to the family estate, in the event of the colection not being wanted any more

I really like the bury it as a hoard idea - can you imagine someone unearthing that lot - very amusing. Even better I would add some meteorite stones and some strange writing onto the side of some bronze age dross. Something along the lines of "We shall return from 2 million miles South West of Jupiter in 2050AD and take back our world!" in ancient Aramaic just to really confuse the Archies!!! Grin Grin Grin

At the bottom of the hole you place an inscribed Bronze plaque with the words " GOTCHA" on it Grin Grin
