This is a good thread, thanks Stu for pushing it up.
My favorite hobby has always been fishing, though I have not done a lot of it lately. I also like working around the house and in the garden, making things and keeping busy with my hands.
I collect eclectic things, nothing of great value, but interesting things when I can find them at little or no cost. Some examples, I have a civil war cannon ball, some inexpensive Roman brass coins, a lot of conchs and other miscellaneous shells I picked up over the years, mostly in Florida, a few old bottles, several alligator skulls, a porpoise skull and a large sea turtle skull (the porpoise and sea turtle skulls were found long after the original owners had no need for them) the list goes on... and on.
