I've got 8 locations within 50 miles of my home that I try to frequent at least once a month but for the most part it's the same mibs I have passed on still sitting there. At least 2 of these places have above average turnover as far as vendors restocking but it's still hit and miss when "new" stuff is found. I do have a good lead on a number of Akroware pieces, hopefully have them soon once I barter with the vendor. I Also know where a huge pile of mibs are but the shop owner won't sell. He displays them in two 1 gallon glass jars and a 2 foot tall giant glass fish for customers too "enjoy". Plus behind his counter is this old chest of drawers full of bags and Mason jars of mibs. He has literally 1,000's and judging from a good number of the ones I could see, nice ones. But he won't budge. It's what I would call my best score ever. Too be continued on that one. Pretty soon here I plan on going outside my box and hitting a few places I found with great potential, meaning that because of the size of these places. But other than a few pieces of Akroware and a slag piece or two, a big fat "0" for mibs in the past month and a half. Time to raise the anchor and hoist the mainsail, mates! Undiscovered country lies ahead!

Congratulations indeed! What a wonderful day for your families! Happy Hunting in Norfolk, hope too see you in the "Score" thread 😊

Not at home so I can't contribute anything today but Happy Akro Friday everyone...great posts 👍

Love it, Pittsburgh! Nice combo 😊

The last time I dug was in Florida in a small bamboo forest that was a known dumping area years ago. Before I moved up here in 93' I dug and found a Waycross, Georgia lisence plate dated 1967, an old tv screen with the green glass intact (made a table out of it), and a pink glass champagne bottle holder, which I still have 😊

It's posted in the "Akro Product" thread, I just decided too snap a new pic 😊

Peerless I believe

I'm pretty sure you did because I remember them but I don't think it was here? It is nice glassware though 😊

A freebie? That works! 👍

Gladys, check out the "My other interest" thread in the lounge...pretty sure he shared some with me there! 😊

It was pretty tasty, minus the Duffy beer 🤣

By the way, pretty sure the cool hand is Boyd's Crystal art glass, I have seen this trademark on their work 😊

It's all good, man....very nice score indeed! There's a few places you post your goods.....the "Score" thread in the Marble and Glass chat forum (which is for all the goodies we find 😊); also you can post your cool slag in "Slag Glass Scores" and your Akro stuff in "Akro Product", both of these are also in the aforementioned forum. I like posting everything together that I score with a few group pics in the "Score" thread, then I branch out to the other threads for more detailed, individual pics. Too each his own though! Have fun and looking forward to seeing some of those mibs in those jars! 👍

Awesome!!!

My bad was not expanding the photo, otherwise I would have seen Tommy's mibs too begin with! It was early, my excuse 🤣

Whoops, sorry, didn't realize you were talking to Tommy 😆

As far as I know, just a common Rainbo. I know some do have names but not positive on that one 😊

Yeah, we have one more possible "heatwave" in southeast Minnesota in mid September, otherwise lower 60's-70's before dropping in October. Don't like how late it's getting for sunrise and sunset will soon be around 5:30 😐

Watched them all so far, lotta fun. Starting checking them out earlier this year, especially the Sand Rally seasons. I sat over at my brother in law's and started from the very first season. Without knowing the outcome of any race or the season itself, we would each choose a marble and stick with that marble until the season finale. I chose Cool Moody and he had Red #3. The wager varied according to where "our" marble finished.

Nice. I've seen Ron and others post pics and info on some similar...I'm sure someone will be along too verify for ya 😊

I have a sizable chunk of landscaping here at work next to the parking lot that's in my sights. There is really nice river rock all around the premises, some spots I haven't gotten to yet. Some of the really good stuff I have I have found here 😊
