You and my uncle would get along. Him and my Dad found a whole Indian skeleton back in the 60's. It's now in the Tennessee Museum in Nashville. He had a display case of over 5,000 heads, axes, sewing needles, hoes, and various tools they'd found over the years. He's getting up in age and sold the lot last year for 8K.
Anybody collect anything besides chainsaws?

Start saving some more money. As soon as you start feeling comfortable. Another wife will come along.
Vintage gold wrist watches. They made some elegant mechanical watches in years past.
Ever since the "gold guys" started buying old unused gold, the watches are getting harder to come by let alone for for a reasonable price.

Broken equipment that is expensive/PITA to fix! Damn shop knomes breaking stuff at night, I swear!
Here are a few of my bottles from around my kitchen. Mostly the more common recognizable stuff.

Tools. I like to fix stuff and a guy has to have him some tools.

Heres a pic of my smallest bottle. Its an old Vicks bottle. I have more smaller collections at my fathers of random stuff such as deer antler sheds and animal skulls we find hiking. Also old jeeps and guns I gathered when I was young and single and money was just for fun. I will post pictures tomorrow of the toys I used to be able to afford.

Last i counted there were 10 lawn mowers to mow my 2 1/2 acre property and had 5 brush cutters but have sold 3 of those recently.
I would collect more stuff but my wife keeps me in line. In just lucky she likes a lot of the same things. She collects knives, not the little pocket knives, the "daaaaaang, I better not piss her off" knives.

I have been thinking about driving a few hours and picking up an old homelite xlbc-4 brush cutter

Pocket knives and Gravely L model tractors

Dude those Gravely L's are so cool. The only nieghbor I have in my neck of the woods collects and fixes old tractors of all kinds. And outboard boat motors but he doesnt have a boat. Between my gasoline fueled hobbies and my nieghbors there is always something revving or idling during the weekends. What attachments do you have for your Gravely's?
Some pretty cool stuff in here. Interesting to see.
I live in an old gold mining town outside of Auburn Calif., most of my bottles were found on or near my property. They include many opium bottles like the one next to the walnut shown here for scale. There were thousands of Chinese living in the town along with around 5thousand miners. Most of these bottles date from around 1850's to the 1890's. ( see post # 35 )
collecting,? that's a tough one... myself, I like to collect something that I have never seen before, rare and no one else has held or tampered with... such a hobby collecting these are a thing to behold, "LIFE", each day is different then all others and different then what will come that makes them rare and precious to behold! one other thing that I like to collect is firewood, different species, shapes, conditions, weights, lengths and all definitions it may come in.... imagine ? collecting firewood, that would be an odd hobby......... maybe chainsaw's? or axe's? or??????????????????????????

Knives, and especially miniature metal Israeli Military vehicles that fit in the palm of your hand. Here are a pair of Merkava MK-4 tanks that came from Russia. Not available in USA.

Those tanks remind me of a big mistake me and my brother made as kids. We got bb and pellet guns for christmas one year and took our gi joes we had got from our older cousins and shot them all into pieces.
