Just finished cataloging my 500th pottery shard from a dig site near Tucson, and the number hit me hard

Remember reading about a guy who collected over a thousand bottle caps from his local park, just picking them up on walks. He said the weird weight hit him at 1,001, like it stopped being a hobby and became a thing. Makes you wonder what the line is between a pile of stuff and a collection.

That "weird weight" feeling means you're collecting, not just picking up stuff.

Yeah, that feeling hits different.
