Buckleboy Metal Detecting Episode 188: How To Organize Your Collection

This week's episode is full of tips on how to organize your metal detecting collection! This task becomes harder and harder with each passing year and more items (and sites!) dug. Make it easier--switch to these methods anytime during your detecting career and enjoy the benefits: 1. faster finding and retrieval of items dug in the past 2. the ability to piece together and reconstruct relics that came up in fragments, and 3. A storage system that is space efficient and comparatively inexpensive.

[@Buckleboy]

I do too my friend! Thanks for watching tonight, it was great to see you

[@sweetdiggz]

Great organization video. You have a beautiful collection and display system.

[@Buckleboy]

Thank you so much! I think it’s pretty cost effective too.

[@vetsdigbeeps]

Good video man! That make case is simple brilliance 💪🏼

[@Buckleboy]

Many thanks!

[@dirtclodmetaldetecting]

Awesome video!

[@Buckleboy]

Ty so much my friend!

So important to keep find location with the item as you say. All the context and much historical value is lost when presented as just “something I found”. I also use the stringed tags. Good video. Andy

[@Buckleboy]

Many thanks my friend and congrats on organizing your collection so well! 👏🙌

[@luckyduckdigger]

I love your info!

[@Buckleboy]

Thanks so much!

[@Dirty-digs]

Great idea! I will definitely try and set my stuff up like this. Separating them by site is a good idea

[@Buckleboy]

I appreciate the kind words and wishing you good luck as you set up your organization scheme for your collection!

Awesome information. Love all the displays. Didn't know if you knew but the small set of hands in the upper left corner of your first case are from a winged hood ornament. Digging friend of mine found the ornament without the hands and another digging friend dug the hands just like the ones you have. Let me know if you want a picture and I'll message you.

[@Buckleboy]

I’d like to see a photo if possible! Cool!

[@Buckleboy]

Woohoo!!

[@Bell2trac]

Watching your video I see you have the same Grover Cleveland match case that I dug! They are cool!

[@Buckleboy]

They are very cool! I didn’t realize at the time my wife dug that, that there were many other figures produced! Grover Cleveland seems to have been the most popular one. Perhaps these were produced during his presidency

[@SuperBowser87]

Come home throw finds in the desk drawer wait ten years for you to find the cob. My organization skills

[@Buckleboy]

Worked out pretty well for you, now it’s featured in a book. Can’t wait for you to read the caption!!

[@Buckleboy]

Woohoo!

[@AlabamaDigger]

For the sites thar are low on finds i have random location cases with a label inside above the relics from each small site separated.

[@Buckleboy]

That’s a great idea!
