i have a weird habit of collecting unique things. for example if you come to my house you'll find none of my dishes match, every thing is different even the silver ware. no two things are from the same set. not just anything will do though, it has to call out to me. people give me gifts which i usually rigift or break. other things include a knight from an old chess set, a christmas tree eraser, and some tangled wires i found roughly the shape of a person.

That's pretty cool Darken-Sol
 
its weirder than i thought, apparently i am the only collector here.
 
If it makes you feel any better I collect rocks and dirt and sometimes leaves from the places I travel to and even locally. When people travel I sometimes ask them to bring me back rocks, and others travel and bring me back rocks without me asking lol Sometimes people find rocks and give them to me because they think I'll like them. But I don't think that's really so weird...maybe I'm not the best to judge.

oh and i collect rocks too, and drift wood. i found a huge chunk of steel in the road and took that too.
 
I had to go here for geology class

but it is a state park and you can't take anything so it would be like torture to you. SO MUCH driftwood!
 
i already see some that i want
 
I've always wanted an amethyst geode. I know a couple of places where I can buy one, but it would be so much better if I can get one from its natural environment :)

i dug up a (quartz?) chrystal in a hillside but it crumbled like sand.
 
that happened to me at the same place, it was not crystal but it looked like a sedimentary rock, when I applied pressure to it, it crumbled like sand. I also got two little watering pots from an old couple before and they turned out to be sterling silver. And I found this cute green pot that turned out to be brass I think lol

Omg, I do that too :smile:! I have lots of rocks...so much better than souvenir spoons :confused:.
 
Yeah and keychains LOL That's so cool you do this too :D

We got a box of 48 rocks for geology class. When I opened it my heart was racing and I had to close it to focus on the assignment LOL
 
i forgot about containers, i love em. maybe i collect stuff so i can fill the containers I've collected.
