I took some photos for one of the arrowhead boards that I frequent, and thought I would share it here too.  These are all my personally found Indian artifacts from 2011, roughly 207 complete pieces (I only frame broken ones if they would have been exceptionally nice):




So do you collect anything?  And if you do, did you add some neat examples to your collection this year?

Acting
2011 was a pretty good year for me (considering I haven't had a fruitful audition since 2008 or 2009).

I was cast as Muldoon in It's a Mystery http://otarp.com/downloads/itsaMystery.mp3
I got clocked by Heather Bailey


Still in post production, I was cast in a student film as a professor. They liked me so much, they called me back for bit parts three weeks in a row, & their instructor is considering me for a bigger project he plans to shoot in February.

It's been a good year for me.

nice pic indie. can't say I've ever seen an arrowhead before, we don't really have them in england. where do you find them, just laying around in fields etc?

my hobby is beekeeping. all my bees died after the frost last year (actually I think they died of starvation not cold) so I got a new nucleus in this summer. I didn't get any honey off them, waiting till this summer for that. summer 2010 I got 28 jars of honey off one hive

heres a slightly lousy pic of them taken on my phone

I'll bet you have arrowheads in England.

How fascinating.  Starvation killed your hive?  Tell us about wild honey bee decline worldwide...? 
I hope you have a better year with your bees.

I've watched Beekeepers at work and it is truly fascinating.  On two occasions, migratory swarms have landed in the trees at the school where I work, and both times we had a professional beekeeper come out and capture them alive - augmenting his hivery (is that a word?) and getting them away from our campus at the same time.  Pretty amazing!

BTW, there are arrowheads in England - both stone age points from the Neolithic and metal points from the Roman and Celtic era - but I'm not sure what the collecting laws are like there.  You can find them wherever erosion exposes them.  I look primarily in gravel bars along rivers and creeks, and along lakeshores during a drought.

thanks. I don't really know too much about the honey bee decline worldwide - not sure anyone does, it seems to be a mystery. but even though we had a really harsh winter, bees rarely die of cold because they form into a big ball in the hive and stay warm by moving around in it so none are on the outside for too long, that's why I think my last bunch probably died of hunger. I also had one lot killed off by a parasite, which the local bee expert couldn't identify. also had one hive attacked and destroyed by wasps. it's quite a difficult hobby to get right!

cool, maybe we do have them then. never come across any (never really looked though)

as for swarming , luckily that's never happened to me. it usually happens when either the hive doesn't have a queen, or if the queen gets restless and leaves, then the rest have to follow ( I think, not 100% sure tbh)

I guess my hobby is video games, though it's mostly just a pastime.  Got 8 platinum trophies last year - you get those for doing everything possible in a game:  beating it on its hardest difficulty level, levelling up everything that can be levelled up, collecting everything, completing all the endings, etc. 

The games were:

Enslaved:  Odyssey to the West
The Saboteur
Assassin's Creed 2
Uncharted:  Drake's Fortune
Hunted:  The Demon's Forge
Nier
Uncharted 2:  Among Thieves
Mass Effect 2

Great games all.  Broke the 1,000 trophy mark too   TeddyR

I think there should be another discussion titled, "Did your hubby treat you well in 2011?"

Well, if I had the time or budget for it, I would collect musical instruments, namely unusual, hard-to-find, or rare instruments. I only have one decent specimen that I happened across this last year, an early-70’s Orpheum tenor banjo. Tenor banjos are four-stringed, typically used for Dixieland jazz or Irish traditional music. It’s currently set up for jazz, but I intend to get it set up properly for Irish music. It’s a doozy. The guy I bought it from listed it on craigslist. He had bought it brand new in 1972, took a few lessons, then stored it away and never touched it again. It’s in fantasic condition and plays really well. They guy knew it was worth more than he sold it for, but he was retired and on a fixed income and needed the cash. It could easily go for $1200 if properly set up, maybe $800 as it is now, I got it for $400. Orpheum made high-quality banjos but are no longer in existence. This was just one of those "'right place/right time" situations that I couldn't pass up.

I also have a Turkish Mizmar, a middle-eastern double-reeded wind instrument. Very loud. I have no idea how to play it properly, just something I picked up at a Turkish market while on a port visit in my Navy days, but that doesn’t qualify as a 2011 acquisition. I’m only bringing it up because those two instruments make up the totality of my unusual instruments collection.

Yes....as a matter of fact he did treat me well....love you,honey!

As for my hobby,I've collected frogs since I was a child. Due to moving and theft I've lost a good number of them but as of now I have close to 60 frog figures. I frequent the local antique shops to find those unusual ones.
