I own some rocks that are likely billions of years old
That’s cool. I want to travel to the Canadian Northern islands someday and see the rocks there, which are likely that old. Some deposits on Michigan’s upper peninsula also date back to the Hadean, apparently.
Aren’t most(all?) rocks billions of years old? Are we making new rocks?
Rocks can grow baby rocks that grow mini rocks.
I have three extremely good condition $2 US bills from the 50s before they started printing “In God We Trust” on them.
I own land. It’s been there all along.
I’ve got some rocks on a shelf from the Permian. So a little older than 250 million years.
My knees.
My birth certificate ☺️
My grandfather founded a liquid propane company and I have the adding machine he used as a register. It may not be quite literally the oldest thing I own, but I consider it the coolest old thing I own.
The sides of it are plastic so you can see the mechanisms and it weighs a gazillion pounds. My wife hates it because we’ve moved it through three houses. I love it and will never voluntarily let it go.

I feel there’s a story you want to tell
I would like to hear it
Little book full of German religious psalms and poetry, printed 1692. Not worth much really, but smells great and is fun to look at. Have to be careful with it though, quite brittle if still in good shape.
A tooth from a megalodon. Not sure how old it is exactly, somewhere between 3.6 million years and 23 million years.
I found a 105 year old german artillery fuse cap with a metal detector some years back so maybe that. I have some old tools aswell but impossible to say how old they really are. Last summer I found a 100 year old coin too.
My grandfather’s axe. He got it as a gift from his father, 90 years ago, but it was already in use then.
And no, he didn’t replace the head twice and the handle 5 times.Trigger?
1958 suburban house
A couple notable things:
1930s acoustic guitar
1880s-1890s cast iron scotch bowl
Family photos and photographic plates dating back to the Victorian
Hundred year old package of patchouli, which still has smell!
