My Collection of Fossils, Crystals, Bottles, Relics & More | The Triumphant Return of Duck Man!

It's been about a year since I have showed my fossil collection, so I figured it was time to do an update! Here's a closer look at the fossils, crystals, bottles, and various types of treasure and relics that I currently have displayed!

Be yourself, unless you can be Duck Man. Always be Duck Man... Beautiful collection!

Me, *looking away at my phone for a moment* Kyle: FOCUS! FOCUS! Me: SORRY, SIR! *realized he was talking to the camera, but sat up straight and took notes for the rest of the video just to be sure*

[@embercopper]

Sorry about Sagan. I'm sure he's out there chasing cosmic mice and watching over you. What a great collection! I need to send you some fossils from Indiana.

[@WILDKYLE]

Thank you ❤️ He was the sweetest boy.

[@lynne99]

amazing display! I like that each shelf has a bit of everything on it

[@WILDCARD101]

You and Chris got me into fossils. I have travelled to Florida (from Connecitcut) twice in the last 2 years, as well as Martha's Vineyard, and New Jersey, to look for fossils. Thank you for the content you make that got me so interested in such a cool topic.

[@lynnscott8286]

What have u found?

[@WILDCARD101]

@@lynnscott8286 deer antler, shells, shark teeth, ray stuff, a few verts, dolphin tooth, biggest teeth so far we’re both from martha’s vineyard, a meg and a mako. I’m actually going back to florida tomorrow morning to keep looking 👍

[@WILDKYLE]

Thank you so much ❤️ I'm happy to know the videos can put a smile on your face!

[@jendjen]

I did just buy roadside geology in MISSOURI, great book so far. Thanks for sharing bits of your passion. Sorry to hear about your momma. I will pray for you and your family. Jenny

[@j-willy4137]

I just found Cris this week, which introduced you. I hunt teeth @ Venice beach every time I go to Florida, my face will not only never look up from the beach sand, but now Ima be face down on the dirt roads as well! Thank you

[@stephaniecaracciolo8325]

So sorry for the loss of your fur baby... I love your beautiful collection I would love to sift and collect like you have. I collected a lot of milk glass when I was a kid at a bottle dump in Belleview Florida. Btw I did not see the link to the Florida roadside geology book I would love to get it and support you as well. Lmk what it is. Love your channel. Keep up the great job you are doing!

[@imakecarsounds6166]

Wild Kyle you have such a kind heart to be this nice to all your subscribers and patreon supporters

[@WILDKYLE]

What can I say! Y'all have been so supportive of me and I appreciate it so much.

[@acerone10]

Hello from snowy Ohio. You and Theo really need to get together. He will help you find the last thing you showed (it shins blue and green) and you can help him find fossils. He has polished the shells he finds. They are gorgeous. Duckman t-shirts, yes.

[@gracewashburn8276]

[@WILDKYLE]

Hey Grace! I post once or twice a week, double check that notifications are turned on for you so you don't miss videos!

[@laurat5143]

I love your collection. Omg it's gorgeous to me. My mom was born in 1936. By the time she was a teenager she had a collection of glass bottles and glass balls, booys, known as floots from the ship's. My grandparents had bought property in Westport collected for years. We got to admire them, as we 6 children got to walk around them all our lives. Collection in my family really started the day my grandfather came to clame land at a dollar an acker. His brother's and he bought up 4 or 6 lots there. She donated them the whole bunch to the Westport Washington museum 3 years ago.

[@aurorawallis3355]

That was awesome 👍 Thank you for showing us all your beautiful treasures God Bless you

[@mkim4091]

My kid is watching your channel and I could hear you talking about your fossils. He asked me what's a "maniac" lol. I must say you have the most attractive male voice I've heard on youtube,

You are the first and only person I've become a patreon to and I don't regret it for a second. Your collection is stunning!

[@WILDKYLE]

That really means a lot to hear Rylee. Thank you! 🙂❤️

[@rockreader4298]

Thanks for showing us some of your magnificent specimens. So glad Duck Man didn't eat all of them. Whew! : ) 2021 will be even better.

[@WILDKYLE]

I was really worried he was going to eat all of them. I know be had an elaborate plan to do it. Luckily he did not succeed.... 😂

[@laurenoreilly4140]

You have amazing collections of history! I love them. I’m sorry about Sagan. My dog, Sampson, crossed the rainbow bridge a year ago. Sampson and Sagan are probably playing together. I had him cremated. A local glass blower used some of his ashes and made me a lighted spirit glass sphere. I turn his light on everyday and his ashes sparkle inside the spirit glass. If you’re interested in having a spirit glass made for Sagan, I can give you the name of the business. Our fur babies are family.❤️🌈🐾

[@imakecarsounds6166]

Hi wild Kyle I’m inspired by you to find crystals so much that she bought me a huge crystal kit thank you so much

[@WILDKYLE]

I'm happy to hear that CJ! Thank you!

[@mommyandmerock2622]

I love the moldy burritos they are so different and beautiful in their own way

[@MatthewBaran]

Lovely lovely lovely

[@valiantwarrior4517]

Cool cool beanz. Don’t know how you narrow your findings down to those few things. I would want to keep and display everything. 🙈 Thank you for showing us your collection. I think everyone should do that. My brother collected old bottles. Mostly liquor and cologne and stuff. No idea how much any of it was worth. My older sister got his bottle and coin collection after he passed away at age 22. I got his trading cards and comic books.

[@Mistress_Wolf]

How are you coping now after losing Sagan? Ever since you let us know, I have been thinking of you and Ash. I am sitting here with my 3 cats, excited and sad to watching this video. I hope one day you will be able to add another addition to your family, but for now, I think Duckman will help close the hole and create more chaos. NEED DUCKMAN Shirt!!! Bri is so talented! Once the world is somewhat normal, and we can travel. I want to spend a month just hunting fossils in Florida, hopefully with you and Cris!

[@WILDKYLE]

Thank you Bella ❤️ We are holding up well. The first couple of weeks were really hard. I didn't go a single day without at least one bout of crying. I miss him so much. We'll be getting another cat for sure, I just don't think I'm quite ready yet. Oh yes, Duck Man will be creating much chaos in his wake 😂 I'm gonna have to look into getting shirts made with that for sure! Come on down to Florida one day!

[@kennypowers3984]

RIP Sagan. Both of you enriched each other's lives.

[@elizabethboffoli913]

Absolutely gorgeous collection and and all the rocks look like molten lava♥️❣️

[@LindaSmith-vq1br]

Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful collection. I appreciate seeing the various neat finds all together. I wish I lived nearer so that I could go hunting too. Please keep on hunting and sharing. I enjoy the vicarious pleasure of finding items without the critter bites. Thanks again!

[@bonesstones6584]

Awesome collection, thank you for sharing!

[@WILDKYLE]

Thanks for watching my friend!

[@elvisthepelvis447]

Love your videos man, continue to teach others about the world of Florida’s history. Paleontology, science, and history has been the things that I have been really passion about learning since I was very young to the point where I am now going to college to study paleontology and turned my room into a museum. Fossils are very addictive.

[@jordanvanwinkle8950]

I told the owner that I watched your video when my husband and I went to Hog Mine back in September 2022 for our anniversary.

[@fionanorth1811]

Very, very cool. Ages ago I criticised your videos because I felt your style didn’t do you justice. This video shows an interesting man, with lovely way of informing, and enough duck man to remind us of your playfulness. Cheers

[@WILDKYLE]

Thank you Fiona! It means a lot to know you've given my videos another chance. I appreciate that. ❤️

[@jennifereubank3168]

Thank you for sharing your prized finds! REAL treasures! I enjoy your vids! Glad to see Duck man has recovered. Definitely make t-shirts! Happy hunting and rock on my fossil friend!

[@WILDKYLE]

Thank you Laura! 😊

[@Parker307]

Found your channel by searching "my collection" in youtube and scrolling down until I found a video that looked interesting. It was this one. Great collection! Subscribed! Made me wish I had kept some old glass things. I like your books too. I have read Sand County Almanac and love it and Song of the Dodo is great and sparked my interest in island biogeography. Have you read or heard of the book Illumination in the Flatwoods? I think you would really like it.

[@victoriaeastman3248]

Loved seeing all your treasures together. Beautiful.

[@mirkatu3249]

Thanks for showing your collection, really enjoyed it, especially seeing the items you found when you were young. RIP Sagan. 🐾💖

So cool to see the mark renz book. Used to go out with him on fossil expeditions as a kid on the peace river. Met him again this past summer. Such a cool guy

I really enjoyed seeing your finds! I'm so sorry, about Sagan. Keeping his remains though, can be a small comfort. I have the remains of 9 of my dogs, dating back to 1990.

[@WILDKYLE]

Thank you Lisa! It was really sad when I picked him up after he was cremated, but I did feel a sense of comfort knowing he was "with" me again. He'll always be in my heart no matter what, as your doggies will. ❤️

[@charlottebeck3757]

Thanks!

[@lindalewis5066]

I remember most of those finds! 👍 You should try to polish one Aquamarine. 💎 Great Arrowheads! Would love to watch you find more. You should put some Crystal's or Gem's inside that scooped out wood. I love, love, love your collection! 🤩🥰
