Re: Do You Collect Anything?
LazyJ, your story about your Jim Beam jugs was so heart warming. Now that's a tradition worth saving. Thank you for sharing.<br />BassyOriginally posted by LazyJ:<br /> We have very similar interests OJB. I'm working on my 4th shoeboxfull of arrowheads. Just acquired my 26th Lucky 13 lure. <br /><br />My son turned 10 in '00 at which point he inherited my 10 1/2 gallon Jim Beam jugs full of various wheatleafs, indianhead, and buffalo nickel coins. We buried them on our farm and nobody living know they exist except him, me, and you folks. He is not to dig them up until he has a ten year old of his own to pass them on to, dearly hope I'm still around to enjoy that moment.<br /><br />I really like the old stuff, simply admiring an arrowhead gives me goosebumps thinking about the stories it could tell. How many "gee whiz" fish have them old lures caught? How many of them buffalo nickels was the only nickel some ol' sharecropper family had to their name?
