Around 11,000 metal objects were collected by metal detectorist Mr Walter Carlile in one parish of Lincolnshire (South Ferriby) over the course of two decades. Mr Carlile collected everything he found, from Bronze Age fragments, via Roman coins to post-medieval stair rod holders. The result is a record of metal objects lost in a parish over the last four thousand years. The collection was acquired in its entirety by North Lincolnshire Museum.
This installation might be the one and only time that the Carlile collection will be seen in its entirety. Like many other such collections, the finds are stored in boxes and shelved, often to be forgotten again. This work can cast new light upon this material, in effect it re-excavates material from out of the store room and offers its intrigue to the public gaze.
Often within a museum context only the most significant objects, the celebrity A list articles are put on display. The Z list stuff that although important, significant to a handful of experts world wide, remains unseen. Only a small fraction of material is ever displayed with each item being quantified through labelling.

DERBY LOST AND FOUND
Artist Paul Matosic reproduced a map of part of Derby city centre on the gallery floor in an installation of found objects
and items from the museum archaeology collection at Derby Museum and Art Gallery.
The intention is to show the relationship between contemporary and historical objects and provoke thoughts about the transient nature of objects.If you happen to be staying in one of the Britannia Hotels in the either Nottingham or Birmingham, why not take a day trip to Derby to see this. It is truly an amazing thing to see that is educational at the same time. It is a great way to raise the issue of waste with your children or to remind yourself about it.
