Ok, I'm sure there are "packrats" similar to me. I'm curious as to what people collect.......I mean other than dust or naughty thoughts.


I'll start I guess.

I collect:
-John Deere stuff
-Coca Cola stuff
-Confederate currency
-musical instruments
-old canning jars

well, there's actually alot of junk I collect.

You're next. :D
 
I collect a number of things, but most actively...

Historical newspapers
Vinyl (what we used to simply call "record collecting")
Literary first editions

Fun but space-consuming! :D
 
I am a hopeless beachcomber. I collect lucky stones, sea glass, unusual pieces of driftwood and other flotsam and jetsam. I have jars and jars and baskets and baskets of this stuff. Someday I'm going to get organized though. Really. Seriously. I am.

That's really cool. Your hobby is twofold. You get your exercise, plus you get a shiney trinket. I bet you've found some interesting pieces. My brother brought back from Washington state some glass floats that were used on fishing nets. He said they just wash up on the shore. It's neat to see what you'll find on the beach.

I collect people. I have a wide variety of them in my basement. ;)

You probably already know this but garage sales are a great place to add to your collection...cheap! ;)

I went with the less demanding collection of vintage cameras. Nothing better than checking out a new addition and finding an old roll of film.

testicles.
Human as well as gopher.
Hum. I uh, have some in my freezer in my garage. Do you by chance need any from a red fox or mink? :D

Sure. I don't happen to have those types.
You should never freeze them however. Freezer burn on nut sack is not good.
It permanently damages the scrotal sac.
You slice them off and then tie some twine around the incision. Then you hang them to dry.

You've seen bodies at garage sales? Man, I don't want to go garageselling with you!

Cameras, cool. Do you have any Brownie cameras? And have you found any interesting film?

That's interesting to know. ....jotting down in my notebook. These are still on the hides I haven't had time to tan yet. I'll be sure to take better care of the little fellers.

Please do. Testicles and testicle health is not a laughing matter.

*wipes smile from my face* Yes, yes you are absolutely right.
 
Other than testicles, I have a collection of smurfs and a sticker collection (started when i was younger) I collect books and movies and things that begin with the letter F.

I found a Buck Knife once - complete with leather case. I found a wallet. Once I saw a giant carp skeleton and in its jaws was a seagull skeleton! That was pretty cool. Wished I had my camera that day.

I should take a pic. I have two stickers that i treasure above all others. One is a chocolate cake slice and when you scratch it it really smells like chocolate cake.
The other is a fuzzy bear sticker.
Things that begin with F.
I have too many things to list but some of them are, Fireworks, Fantasy neighbor #7, Fermented worms, Fake identification, The top of a Frosted flakes box, Fingernails.
