I have a few dozen old ambassadeur and Record baitcasters. Some old Abu-matics, including some fairly rare lefties. A few early Cardinals. Older CCBC lures are something I'm always on the lookout for. A couple more rare colored Heddon Sonics and I'll be sporting a complete set. Old fish figurines/statue type thingy's I look for too.

Garage/yard sale season is in full swing so I'm sure I'll find a goodie here and there, to either hang onto or sell for the big bucks on ebay!!!

Oddly enough...different Operating Systems.

Linux distributions, versions of Windows...etc etc.

I have a slowly expanding firearms collection habit that I picked up from my dad. Almost time for another gun safe.

Old lures, both of my grandfathers passed away and I got all of their gear.

Duck and Goose calls. Just last week I told my wife that I collect duck and goose calls. It was my response when she asked what in the world I need 30 duck calls for. It would be hard for her to argue when she has 40+ purses and like 100 pairs of shoes.

Antique Duck Decoys and shell boxes.

And don't laugh, but I also have an extensive collection of G.I. Joes, the 12" kind not the dumb ones that are out there now....and yes, I do have one with the kung-fu grip!!

- Cigars. When my friends travel, I always ask that they bring one back for me.

- Used to collect coins. Mostly silver. Have not done that in a while though.

Oh ya coins, forgot about those. I have a bunch of silver halves and dollars from the late 1800's and early 1900's. 2 gold coins from the 1800's too. Some paper silver certificates. I also have a 1812 half penny and am curious as to the value of this thing. I know what the value of some of the silver coins are worth. Anyone know a site where a guy might find values of this 1812 half penny?

I would guess 10,000 + Baseball cards. All the stars plus old ones. Have not gone through them for around 10 years. No clue what is in there any more. I would bet easily $10,000 worth.

20-30 old nut crackers from my god mother for x-mas. (Usually had $50 - $100 in each of them)

I've got Hard Rock cafe hats from Minneapolis, Memphis, St. Louis, Kuala Lumpur, Sydney, Orlando, and a few others I don't remember off the top of my head.

Snowmobiles.

Not a very big collection yet but I'm working on it. Need to find some more room. Start with my main sled 2002 Arctic Cat ZR600 EFI. Will be adding another cat to the collection in a month or so- 1992 EXT Special (thats the one that had the Prowler chassis with the purple & pink flames on the hood). Got 2 Sno-Jets, a 72 StarJet and a 73 StarJet. Just got the 73 running, can't wait to get it on the snow. Also have a whole bunch of old SnoJet magazine ads, patches, brochures, etc.

Sometime down the road I hope to add a 75 Arctic Cat El Tigre 'Z', a 77 'Z', and of course the '71 & '72 EXTs, and maybe even an early 634 Montana-piped Panther.

I used to collect vinyl records (33LPs) from late '60s to late '80s, and with a strong interest for the '70s.
Family nickname sometimes is "Disco Val"....he, he... grin.gifgrin.gif

I stopped due to too much work, but I have I guess about 1,000 records scattered around.
Now with MP3s is a click of a button.

I checked my coin book and they don't list a 1812 half cent , an 1811 would buy you some nice fishing gear though . you might have a "token" those also have value . check the date , if you like e-mail me a decription front and back and general condition and I can check into it.

For the coin guys wanting to know what their coins are worth - www.pcgs.com. Look to the left at the Daily Price Guide section. Not anything against coin shops but... If anyone ever wants to sell their coins, do it on Ebay. You will get 50% more (or more)for the coins than a dealer will give you. I sold a 1904 encased cent- one penny - for $69.00 a couple of weeks ago. A dealer offered me $10.

      I'm not there, so I can't tell exactly what's going on but it looks like a large area of open water developed in the last day with all of the heavy snow on the east side of wake em up Narrows. These two photos are from my Ring Camera facing north towards Niles Point.  You can see what happened with all of snow that fell in the last three days, though the open water could have been wind driven. Hard to say. .  
    • SkunkedAgain
      Black Bay had great ice before but a few spots near rockpiles where there were spots of open water. It looks like the weight of the snow has created a little lake in the middle of the bay.

      On the south end...   Thanks to some cold spring weather, ice fishing continues strong for those still ice fishing.  The bite remains very good.  Most resorts have pulled their fish houses off for the year, however, some still have fish houses out and others are allowing ATV and side by sides.  Check social media or call ahead to your favorite resort for specifics. Reports this week for walleyes and saugers remain excellent.   A nice mix of jumbo perch, pike, eelpout, and an occasional crappie, tullibee or sturgeon being reported by anglers. Jigging one line and using a live minnow on the second line is the way to go.  Green, glow red, pink and gold were good colors this week.     Monster pike are on a tear!  Good number of pike, some reaching over 45 inches long, being caught using tip ups with live suckers or dead bait such as smelt and herring in 8 - 14' of water.   As always, work through a resort or outfitter for ice road conditions.  Safety first always. Fish houses are allowed on the ice through March 31st, the walleye / sauger season goes through April 14th and the pike season never ends. On the Rainy River...  The river is opened up along the Nelson Park boat ramp in Birchdale, the Frontier boat ramp and Vidas boat ramp.  This past week, much of the open water skimmed over with the single digit overnight temps.   Areas of the river have popped open again and with temps getting warmer, things are shaping up for the last stretch through the rest of the spring season, which continues through April 14th.   Very good numbers of walleyes are in the river.  Reports this week, even with fewer anglers, have been good.  When temps warm up and the sun shines, things will fire up again.   Jigs with brightly colored plastics or jigs with a frozen emerald shiner have been the desired bait on the river.  Don't overlook slow trolling crankbaits upstream as well.   Good reports of sturgeon being caught on the river as well.  Sturgeon put the feed bag on in the spring.  The bite has been very good.  Most are using a sturgeon rig with a circle hook loaded with crawlers or crawlers / frozen emerald shiners. Up at the NW Angle...  Ice fishing is winding down up at the Angle.  Walleyes, saugers, and a number of various species in the mix again this week.  The bite is still very good with good numbers of fish.  The one two punch of jigging one line and deadsticking the second line is working well.   Check with Angle resorts on transport options from Young's Bay.  Call ahead for ice road guidelines.

      With the drifting, kind of hard to tell for sure, but I'm guessing about a foot and still lightly snowing. Cook end!

      How much snow did you get on Vermilion? 
    • Mike89
      lake here refroze too...  started opening again yesterday with the wet snow and wind...  very little ice left today...
    • Hookmaster
      A friend who has a cabin between Alex and Fergus said the lake he's on refroze. He texted me a pic from March 12th when it was open and one from 23rd when it wasn't. 🤯
    • SkunkedAgain
      I don't think that there has been any ice melt in the past few weeks on Vermilion. Things looked like a record and then Mother Nature swept in again.   I'll give my revised guess of April 21st
    • leech~~
      As I get older it's really not just about sending bullets down range.  Some of it's just the workmanship of the gun and the wow factor. The other two guns I have really wanted which I'll never have now because of their price, is a 8mm Jap Nambu and 9mm German Luger.   Just thought they always looked cool!  
    • jim curlee
      I had a guy hit me with a lightly used 1969 BAR, he wanted $1650 with an older Leupold scope. More than I think they are worth, I made an offer, he declined end of story.   You know if you look at the old brochures, a grade II BAR sold for $250 in the late 60s, $1650 would be a good return on your investment.    Why would anybody want a 50 year old gun, they are heavy, have wood stocks, and blued metal.  I guess mainly to keep their gun safes glued to the floor. lol   You can probably buy a stainless rifle that you never have to clean, with a synthetic stock you never have to refinish, is as light as a feather, and for half as much money, perfect.   I'm too old for a youth gun, although I've shrunk enough that it would probably fit. lol   No Ruger 10/44s.   Jim
