If you live near the sea, go to the beach and collect "seaglass".
"Sea glass (also known as beach glass, mermaid's tears, lucky tears, and many other names) is glass found on beaches along oceans or large lakes that has been tumbled and smoothed by the water and sand, creating small pieces of smooth, frosted glass.
Sea glass is one of the very few cases of a valuable item being created from the actions of the environment on man-made litter."

Tombstone rubbings of famous people. I'm the only person I know who has rubbings of the tombstones of Richie Valens, Buddy Holly, and the Big Bopper.

Different rocks/semi-precious stones,learning the different layers of where and whatnot of the different rocks us quite time consuming.

Rubber bands...on newspapers, vegetables...etcetera. They cost you zip. I am genetically incapable of throwing rubber bands away. I have bags and bags and bags of them. Need any?

Do you have that Tyra ad with the weird big guy with bug eyes? If you look closely Tyra's eyes look like they're falling out of her head.

I like this idea, Marky Mark! Really pretty! I'd use them to frame a picture or mirror!

I like collecting them after I'd had a dip in the ocean with my baby son. We put it in a tray with some other pebbles in the living room. ;-)
