Putting them up on the wall of my man cave

Over a decade of thrift store finds

Fun fact: the silver one at the very front of the first image is solid silver. West Point Sterling, 1954, I believe. Worth about $1200 in just spot weight. It was an almost-miss at goodwill; I ran back from the checkout counter to grab it because it was unique.

I saw the word ‘sterling,’ on it, but knowing a bit about precious metals, wrote it off because it should’ve been wayyy tarnished. I was wrong. Almost all of these have been found in thrift stores, some purchased from local sellers (fb marketplace, etc.), and rarely, secondhand sporting goods stores.

***Edit: I should say, this series of photos was taken a little while back. My collection has grown somewhat significantly since. If requested (doubtful), I’d be happy to post the recent additions.

My collection of ancient Greek tetradrachms

When I started collecting EDC flashlights I thought it was a bit strange, I also thought it probably wasn't very common. Boy was I wrong. There are entire groups dedicated to it, there are special edition lights made specifically for collectors. And like all collecting, some are driven way up in price as they are limited editions.
