I guess nothing as of right now. If I'm on a field trip (I have two weekenders this semester and then a month long one I paid for this summer), I'll usually take a chunk of a neato mineral if I find any or some geodes. I have a chunk of white rhombohedral calcite (semi transparent) and a tennis ball sized cube of galena (lead ore) with some purple fluorite growing on it. When I get more money I'll have to start actually getting stuff.

My dad however collects 1950's era American Flyer trains (his from when he was a child still runs, 55 years old + and they're WAY cheaper and WAY cooler than buying anything brand new). He has one like thye picture below. The train is made out of metal and you can put an oil in the top and it'll puff smoke. Very badass. So far he has bought 3 more off of Ebay that are fixer uppers and lets my little cousins play with them over Christmas and stuff, which is a really nice thing to do.

Cool5, that's not much of a collection is it? I don't see similarities.

I call it my odds and ends collection.

Plus I collect eye glasses, golfballs, poptops off of soda cans, and fast food cups, the plastic ones with logos on them. They come from Burger King, Wendy's, MacDonald's and 711.

I have: 2 Lacrosse balls, a base ball, a comb from the halls of school, a piece of broken desk from school, a old spring, a rusty paint can, a bunch of empty bullet shells, a old lipstick tube with lipstick in it, two cologne bottles from under the PE locker, a old rubber model airplane tire,a piece of square shaped plastic with a hole in it, A brake disk off a train, a bent spoon, a very old tiny screwdriver, two clasps from a broken desk from school, rusty bolts, a rusty key, a few rusty washers, a old bottle from my aunts house, two chap stick tubes with chap stick in them, a black mouth guard found on the floor by the biology room, which fits my mouth nicely, a blistex tube, a few other rusted things like washers, a nail, a crusty marble, three bolts, and oddly, a half empty lip gloss tube from some girl in school, a ancient angle iron from an abandoned greenhouse, a piece of thin metal from a part of something, a iron bar with threads at the end and a horse shoe.



For some reason i found this incredibly funny. Gave me a stitch, infact.

I collect nothing, apart from music & movies. I did at one point collect coins that i came across with nice original patterns. But then the credit crunch came and i've now spent them all lol.

The newest things added are: two more chapstick tubes, a black flexible square rubber piece that seems to go around the bottom of a table leg, a rusty screw and nut, and a football shaped piece of paper that has the bible verse John1:1 on it and a child's name on the back of it.
