Thought this might be an interesting discussion. What have you found and then gotten rid of, but then later wished you would have held on to??
For me, it was a Wolf Scout neck slide like this one...
When I initially found it, it was one of those "huh, that's cool" But it wasn't something of historical interest, and it's value was minimal, so I added it to a box headed to Goodwill. A few weeks later, I found a Bear Scout slide, and I IMMEDIATELY wished I still had the Wolf slide, but it had gone to Goodwill already. Me being the collecting-dork I am (plus the fact that I was a scout), I keep thinking about how cool it would be to find a slide for each of the ranks. Who knows, maybe I'll get lucky and when I start detecting some of the local schools, I will find another Wolf.
So lets hear it, who else has gotten rid of a find (given away or sold) that you later wish you had kept?
