Sorry Gang. As far as Black Powder long guns go I will have to stick with my Hawkins .50 cal. I really love that gun. It was the very fist of the Black Powder I purchased next came the 1836 Navy in .36 cal.

Catman you really need to shoot my Deer Creek "Elk Hunter" as everyone who has seen it shoot can't believe the accuracy and speed. I have a 1 in 24 twist barrel and shoot a 425 grain conical bullet (hollow point/hollow base). Probably change your mind about a few things! Deer Creek (5 miles down the road) is currently working to put the "Elk Hunter" back in to production as demand and request have come in from world wide dealers and shooters. Quite an amazing weapon. Never tried it but do think I could take out one of Kyra's Morgan dollars from a hundred yards shooting off a bench rest. Reckon we can get her to send a nice CC down for a test? |

I collect minerals, crystals and the like. I also collect Egg cups. I am a builder of wheeled and tracked armor vehicles 1/35 scale, I show and compete with the models. I guess it is a collection too. Also pocket knives, nothing special and all meant to be and get used. Thinking starting a Sherlock Holmes collection too.

My interests tend to lean towards history and the unusual. I collect papers that were written by the founding fathers, and artifacts recovered from shipwrecks like the Titanic, then my interests take a turn. I have meteorites, a very cool voodoo doll, sharks teeth, newspapers about hauntings throughout America, those sorts of things.
Anything that seems weird and not often seen, can peak my curiousity. If it can be tied back to a specific time period, all the better.

My other loves are Omega and Rolex watches. You cannot beat the feel and quality of a fine mechanical watch.

Seems coin collectors think alike on other collections. I've got some ballcards(nothing great), a few old records, 8-10 antique woodworking tools, stamps, rifle shells, and some firearms. I really like High Standard .22 semi-automatic pistols. I've dreamed a lot about having a 12lb. Napoleon canon. Guess I'll just keep dreaming though, my wife and neighbors would'nt understand. Read an article about 20 years ago, a guy was at Freindship searching to buy a 12lb tube. He put word out that he'd gladly pay $20k for one. The article said he did'nt find one. |

Dixie Gun Works had a Napoleon 6-pounder complete with carriage (no caisson) a few months ago for only $8K. However, I believe the whole thing was a replica; certainly the carriage was, but I'm not sure of the tube although I've heard of original tubes going for a lot more than $25K (tube alone). |

Another thread reminded me of another of my little collecting fetishes: computer viruses, especially Windows viruses (which is 99.99999999999% of all viruses). Since I'm a Mac user, I don't worry about contamination. I have some great BU and AU specimens including the Melissa and AvrilLavigne.exe viruses if anyone wants to trade.  |
