I draw the line at buying.It's all under the category of pleasure that I call the pleasure of FINDING. It doesn't really matter what the dollar value of the find is, even if it's 0$. The value to you is that you found it.
The pleasure of finding also extends to your opportunity to buy, as in online buying, or antique shop buying, or yard sale buying, etc. If the item fits in a collection category of yours, then it's a find!
Most people don't experience the pleasure of finding, but those of us here certainly do!

Lots of research, hiking and digging.I'm a garage sale antique store hunter/buyer kinda girl. How do y'all know where to "hunt, dig and find?" Sounds like fun!
Personally I like to look at old maps.I'm a garage sale antique store hunter/buyer kinda girl. How do y'all know where to "hunt, dig and find?" Sounds like fun!
Agreed. Pretty much all my hunts follow that order. First look at Google maps, then look at archival maps of the same area and juxtapose the two. Drive to the selected location. Make sure to be wearing the proper clothes and boots and carry proper equipment for the type of dig. Bring food and as much water as you can carry (especially in summer).Lots of research, hiking and digging.
There's more to it, but that's the gist of it.
