Offcuts!

The previous 4 generations of my father's family were miners, and they all collected specimen quality rocks - which I now have, together with some that I collected in my couple of years working on a minesite. At one stage I sat down with a Dana's and catalogued a lot of them, but over the years the labels have faded and now I'm back to square one.
Think I'll just build a cabinet to display a few of the best.

[aussiecolector]

Guns mostly and a lot of rubbish I'll never use.

[Bodgy]

Alimony, bills and a bad reputation

Whoa Harry :eek: Van Wheels crikey!! I actually have some of them somewhere as well, and old issues of "turbo" and "streetbike" although did relinquish & give most of my old street machines to one of my car mad mates who never grew up, he went ape when he came across boxes and boxes of them. The good thing about that is he will look after them and I get to visit them every now & then.

Some things I purposely collect, other collections just seem to happen.

• Nearly anything Airedale Terrier
• Little salt and pepper shakers
• Bibles - My Mum keeps forgetting she's already given me about 10 and I seem to get a new one from her nearly every year. have about 25 around the house now :confused:
• Balls - soccer balls, golf balls, volley balls, kids toy balls of all sizes and makes. They just keep appearing in the yard??

Cheers

Nothing in the sense you mean. I have a lot of accumulated junk but it's more along the lines of not throwing things away - I haven't gone out and 'collected' it. I have a growing collection of hand tools and I will always take any timber that comes my way.

Collected stamps and coins as a kid.
