Collecting

Why do we hold onto old items?

-Holding onto an item can help you hold onto memories of people and times that have already passed.

​

-Collecting treasures can make for a fun and engaging hobby.  It's a great activity to take part in with friends and family.  

​

-Owning an item that you once had or wanted helps your relive a piece of your childhood like finding a first edition Star Wars figure.

​

-Preserving a piece of the past allows you to honor history; i.e., finding a wooden nickel and turning it into a lesson for students.

​

-Researching cultural pieces expands your personal knowledge so that you are respectful of diverse backgrounds, hardships and talents.

​

-Unique pieces make for great conversations, especially with other treasure hunters.  If you don't know what it is, someone else might.
