saturnrings Posted September 3, 2008 #8 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Clean them? Yes, I was them in water when the holder I use gets dusty? Is that okay? im not sure how you treat your crystals; if they are just pretty objects to you or mean something more well, the best way to clean and keep them clean, is not to wash them with tap water but to put them on a window facing the full moon, or by clean them in clean spring water, or clean them with your thoughts. crystals are very receptive with our thoughts and hold lots of human history in their litlle pieces that you have.... as i said, i dont know how you relate to them but thats pretty much enough for cleaning them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandpa Greenman Posted September 4, 2008 #9 Share Posted September 4, 2008 I decided to quit collecting things, but I have to admit I have a lot of stones, rocks and fossils. I get people to bring them to me from places they go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thefinalfrontier Posted September 4, 2008 #17 Share Posted September 4, 2008 I collect Ducks, I have been collecting them since about 1990 and WOW do I have alot of duck figurines, My most prized Duck is what is known as a corn duck, The corn duck is hand made using the husks from the ear of the corn, In all the time I have collected ducks I have only seen two corn ducks and the first one I seen at a yard sale and another colector got to it just before I seen it then I finally found another at a yard sale and I purchased it for just one USD, They are very seldom seen,, I Love Ducks And I dont Know Why But I Just Do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southside Posted September 4, 2008 #18 Share Posted September 4, 2008 I too, collect Beatle related stuff. Not like I used to, but I'll still pick up something here and there. I also collect guitars and amplifiers, mostly Beatle related. I have two Rickenbackers, two Gretschs, two Fenders, one Gibson, two Epiphones, and a classical nylon string guitar from Mexico. I have a few Vox amplifiers from the 60's as well. Oh, and two Ludwig drum kits. Hope to get a Sitar, a banjo and a ukulele this fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deepislandboy Posted September 4, 2008 #19 Share Posted September 4, 2008 I collect musical instruments. It's kind of hard to add to my collection because it's hard on me dollar bills. So far I have 2 fender stratocasters, 1 taylor big baby acoustic guitar. 1 alto sax that has seen some more bright and shiny (literally) days. loads of drums of sorts including an electric drumset. A 5-string banjo. An old Austrian (I think) autoharp. A ukranian Balalaika. This weird recorder thing from Mexico and an ocarina. A Piano and at least 2 electric keyboards. I just love fiddling with instruments i can't even play. I forgot to mention I have to violins which were a recent addition (Thanks g-ma). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gatofeo Posted September 5, 2008 #20 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Ex-Husbands. Currently working on #5 divorce. Have not learned my lesson. Will probably get married again. Dang girl, you're living in Utah. You could have had all five husbands at once and got it over quicker! LOL I live in Utah too, 80 miles west of Salt Lake City wayyyyyyyyy out in the remote desert. I'm just an ol' bachelor desert cat. Always been a bachelor. Will almost certainly die one. Between you and your five -- seeking a sixth -- husbands and me -- never married and not wanting a wife -- we keep the world in balance! The Yin and Yang of Yutah, eh?

Gatofeo Posted September 5, 2008 #21 Share Posted September 5, 2008 I collect American Rifleman magazines. I have an unbroken collection, from December 1928 to last month's issue, about 850 issues. I'm working on completing my collection of Handloader and Rifle magazines, without about 60 to go to have a complete collection. I also collect cartridges. My oldest ones predate metallic cased ammunition and are just a tube of paper, filled with gunpowder, and a bullet glued to the end. I also collect old and collectible books, on a variety of topics but I especially enjoy history. Friends say my house looks like a museum, for all the geegaws I have sitting around: a Roman coin, a couple of old cameras, arrowheads, two naval gun training projectiles, crystal vases and books everywhere. I'm a bachelor so I can get away with it. If I were married, much of what I collect would be out the door as the new furniture was being brought in ... lol. Married friends have warned me about wives: "The first thing to go is your furniture. That comfortable chair you've enjoyed so long, forget it. Out it goes!"

Starting w/ YUtah. I'll marry them & make them throw out all their old stuff & you can take what you need out of that for your collections! I collect a few things like Marvin the Martian stuff, Halloween stuff, Dracula things, lighthouses, and several more groups of things I can't think of right now because I (since childhood) start 'collecting' one thing or another, then lose interest in it and move on to something else...
