Metal finds need to be cared for. Excavated finds may have lost much of their metal content in burial. Some may be fragile, thin, brittle and easily broken. Others might be very heavy, and need extra padding. Different metals corrode in different ways; gold hardly corrodes at all, whilst iron corrodes quickly.
Some objects are made of more than one metal or contain other materials like glass, enamels, wood, bone, ivory, horn, leather, or textiles. You will need to think about specific requirements for these objects.
the following link shows some of the special packaging and storage materials you might need to protect your finds from corrosion.
