Our Story:
I am Stile Teckel, the founder and heart behind Caveloot. After a 20-year career in business, where I honed my skills in purchasing, customer service, accounting, marketing, and inventory control, I decided in 2016 to channel my diverse experiences and love for collecting into Caveloot. With degrees in General Studies and Business, I’ve transformed my lifelong hobbies into a venture that brings joy and discovery to others.

Gemstones: My passion for treasure hunting through gem grading and appraisal courses ensures we offer only the finest selection.
-
Dice: My love for gaming has led to a curated collection for every kind of player, from the handcrafted dice I make to those with historical significance.
-
Vintage Collectibles: Inspired by personal passions, we offer stamps, coins, pinbacks, and more – each piece a nod to history.

Our Mission:
At Caveloot, we’re more than a store; we’re a community of enthusiasts. My journey from a corporate background to a self-employed entrepreneur in 2016 has been fueled by a desire to share my hobbies with you.

A Small Business with Big Adventures:
As a small, family-dependent business, every purchase supports not just your hobby but our shared passion for collecting and gaming. I’ve traveled, published games, and even acted as a fulfillment service for others, all while growing Caveloot. Your support allows me to continue this journey, exploring new avenues like developing games and expanding our product range.
Looking Forward:
Currently, we’re expanding our digital presence, with a full site relaunch planned for 2025. Additionally, expand our offering of Gem Stones and the ability to source for specific needs.
