I still have plenty of Ammonites, Trilobites and Dinosaur Bones, claws and teeth stored in my basement along with various . One of my close Family Friends inherited a gigantic collection from his father who was once an archeologist himself. He has, nearly everything you can name although his house kind of looks like a museum now. I have gifted several jewelry items to my mother made from Fossils, the most recent being a Nautilus shell that has naturally bonded to Pyrite. Nice to see that others are interested in this sort of thing too. I'm not surprised though, we do live in Canada and we have a huge supply coming in from Dinosaur provincial park each year.

Primary collecting interest: antique/obsolete license plates.
I have a museum quality worldwide display focusing on plates made of porcelain enamel.
Since this is in the Canadian forum, I'll show one of the tougher finds from 'up north':

Does-Anyone-Here-Collect-Anything-Other-Than-Coins.

Secondary interests, in order of current priority:

  • worldwide coins

  • woodworking tools

  • interesting rocks/minerals/Indian artifacts

  • old marbles

  • pulp fantasy/s-f ( inherited large collection; not adding to)


Always interested in swapping with like minded hobbyists.

Funny how many coin people like rocks. I collect gold, placer gold off a beach with my gold pans and rubber boots, garden shovel and turkey baster (to suck gold out of cracks and depressions). Fun finding a picker every once in a while and the rush you get when you wash the sand away and reveal something lustrous and yellow. Love my silver coins, but love my gold in the pan as much. Nice to hear from the palindromic zxcccxz about ammonites and minerals from mysliveryears. Collect on.
