What do INGOers collect?

I used to have a Washburn that looks like your black fender.

Indian artifacts. I've found over 1000 in the last ten years. Arrowheads, atl-atl points, spear heads, axes, bannerstones, net weights, and tools. It's great exercise walking the fields and waterways looking for them. When I pick up something I glance around and wonder how it came to be here 1000's of years ago. It's kind of a time machine effect. Was it simply lost, or used in a hunt. I also try to photograph everything before I pick it up.

Also, hummingbirds & Morels

I used to have a Washburn. It was a really good bass actually. I think they're pretty underrated.

I actually have a substantial ​wallet collection that I've acquired from various INGO members. I have a purse collection too, but really, whocares about that?

Dust and anything else I think would be fun or cool to display. I have a few models that have to be built. P51 Mustang stuff and Pearl Harbor models are my favorite.

My girlfriend collects Disney puzzles and hangs them instead of pictures of me. Which is good, because I don't wanna be hung.

Oh please don't say fungus. I like mushrooms and all, but a fungal infection (from one of my cats) just about kilt me a couple years ago. I'm still feeling the effects.

What have you been doing with your cats..?

LOL, makes me think he was saying fungus like it was an STD.

Do they know you have their wallets???

1) Monopoly Games. I don't go too crazy with all the variations. I prefer bone stock games from various years, and a few oddball USAopoly ones of interest.
I did some designs for a client & the game years ago, becoming interested in the game while doing research on it.
The games prices haven't changed since it's beginnings

2) Johnny lightning diecast (sort of). I have a buttload that I designed over the years, so it' more of a 3d portfolio. I wouldn't have collected diecast otherwise.

3) various racing memorablia that I designed. Again, more of a portfolio, but some pieces are nice, or were provided by the client upon completion, such as the helmet below signed by all the drivers who went on the tour, as well as Bruce Crandall (Who presented it to me, and I demanded he sign it immediately!!!)

I've never found an arrow head.

I'm not much of a collector. I've got some Tennessee Volunteers memorabilia; I tend to collect tools as I use a project as an excuse to buy a new tool; now, I'm trying to collect ammo as a hedge against the next scare.

I do not mean to, but I have collected books. About once a year, I get determined to clean them out of the corners of the house. After I spend a couple of frustrating days trying to get rid of them I give up and buy another book case. About a year ago I got by replacing a 32 inch wide 4 shelf case with a 48inch wide 72 inch 6 shelf. Sadly that one filled up also.

I have actually gone to Goodwill and bought back a couple of books I have donated. Since they already had the information I needed underlined and highlighted, and my notes in the margins, that saved me from having to redo my research.

 

[ArcadiaGP]

Fine scotches.
Anime figures.
Ammo.

 

[Brian Ski]

By the sounds of the sharp metal thread, looks like we mostly collect wounds!!!

 

[Kirk Freeman]

Fridge magnets. Yeah, I know. It's goofy as heck and I am not sure how I got started, but whenever I go to a new place, I snag a magnet.

 

[GodFearinGunTotin]

Hey! I see you got one when you went out for a plant visit at Magpul...before they moved.

 

[Mr Evilwrench]

What have you been doing with your cats..?

Nah, she bit me. She was blind from cataracts, messed up various ways, flat out terrifying cat. She had her hiding place and knew the way to food/water/litter. If you were standing in her way when she was going to the food or litterbox, she was liable to clamp onto you with teeth and claws, drawing significant blood. She got me real deep on the thumb. I had a fever a couple of days later, in & out of the hospital for a month with various organs shutting down, including my brain. I knew she had fungus because she'd given me a skin infection previously that I had to treat with athlete's foot stuff. I may be a sicko, but that was just in the regular way

 

[KokomoDave]

Never trust a cat.

 

[BogWalker]

Gas masks. Used to collect militaria, but slowly it drifted into being a collection of NBC warfare gear. I'll get a picture up sometime. I've got masks from WWI-current issue from over a dozen nations.

I have a large seashell collection which I keep scattered on the beaches all over the world. Maybe you've seen it.
