It's that time if year. Tomorrow, I get to start a 3rd year of detecting a pre civil war campsite. I always feel lucky that I'm able to go out year after year. It is a massive chunk of land, so I think I still have a few years of finding good stuff. Anyhow, I make it a point to give the landowner a gift at the beginning or end of the season just to say thank you. I'm sure many of you do this but I thought I'd share what I put together. I buy a small shadow box from the hobby store. Find some interesting relics, I will either hot glue or wire them to the back of the box. Seal it up and I'm done!
This one has a .54 cal 3 ringer, spoon handle, buckle, square nails and a mule shoe.

I'd be speechless (in a good way) if someone handed me that. There's work, thought, kindness that went into putting it together. Good deal, brother! Great artistic skill, too
