I don’t quite have enough of a collection to make any super elaborate displays yet... but I am a planner, and would love to hear your favorite methods of displaying artifacts! Some ideas I’ve been kicking around... a sunken coffee table, barrister book case with shadow boxes? I want to be able to handle the artifacts often, so hanging them on the wall simply won’t be my go to option. A friend of mine called his favorite artifacts “TV” artifacts because you find yourself holding them while you watch tv, I find myself reaching for certain pieces of my collection all the time.. and I know if it was hanging on the wall and less accessible I’d be sad, lol. With that said.... Let’s see some displays!!!!

Gotta go with a case that opens . A friend made me one that can be hung as a frame as well .Your favorite points will want to be looked at and handled .
Best of both worlds . I can’t tell you how often a week I open that up .🤙 -
But I am a fan of just having 3 big points across for an impact look .
I am just going to have 3 going across or a smaller one with
the 2 Adenas and a tool .
Some put just the same point in the case and so on .
Thats going to take awhile .
Or maybe just the same lithic case .
can get pretty artistic .Comment

I like the idea of the same lithic.. I really only find quartz, argillite and the occasional rhyolite point, so I think three cases for colors. Maybe a case for my most found types? It’s all something to consider!Can’t find em sitting on the couch; unless it’s in a fieldComment

I like the cases that Two Timbers make. Someone on the forum recommended them and I've bought a bunch since then. They're stackable sort of, you could also fit them into drawers. They have a store on Amazon.
As far as a coffee table, I think there was someone here who made a display table like that full of chipping debris. I thought it was a great idea, I wanna do it myself sometime.Comment
