That's probably it, same marble, different runs. I kinda wondered with the colors being the same regarding the swirls. I'll stick them together. 👍 Thanks guys. I'll post some more soon! Gotta go dig on this last day in the 70's!

Got most of them figured out...these 3 groups I haven't found yet. The two groups of green base glass, they are different. The first group the base glass is darker green. Taken with a flash the groups look identical. Maybe they are the same? The color of the swirls is the same. The third picture is a black base with white swirls. A few have a little bit of a pinkish tinge with the white swirls. Thanks for any assist!

What I have going on this year for decorations...

Lol, just wanted to catch you while you were on site 😊

Some of the marbles from my Vacor score..

Sorry about the unrelated post here, but I figured I would let Jeremy know that Kermit is going to be on "Masked Singer" on Wednesday 😉

I was in a hard place also with my wife. She was diagnosed with COPD in 2010 and it slowly and steadily went downhill from there. I worked from 3:30pm until 2:00am and found myself assuming an ever growing responsibility with household duties, daily errands, etc; especially when the brain cancer diagnosis came in 2015. At that point, I became full time caregiver and full time factory worker. I had too keep my 2nd shift job as a supervisor, so getting off at 2am and not going to sleep until 4-5am became a normal routine. About 3 hours of sleep a day on average. I did go through an agency and acquired hired help for when I was at work. Did that until her passing in May of 2018. Guess my last 12 years was just God's way of "toughening me up" for what I am dealing with now? It's all good, because life finds a way. 😊

More news...Speech Therapy at Gundersen Hospital reached out to me Thursday too let me know that there will be some group meetings with fellow laryngectomy patients coming up in November and December. Dates aren't scheduled as of yet but I'm looking forward to it! It was also discussed with me about taking on the role of being a Peer Counselor. This would require that I work personally, one on one, with patients who are preparing for the surgery, have had the surgery (and are still in the critical care unit), or ones that close to going home. It's a challenge that I readily accepted. If I can help anyone that's going to go through or has gone through what I did and still am, I'm their man. It's one hell of a journey filled with fear, doubts, anger, sadness; one huge rollercoaster of emotions. Situations will vary with each individual. And having been a caregiver since the 90's, and now a patient, that experience will be tested for sure. A caregiver IS the most challenging occupation out there. Anyone who would scoff at that only has too put on the scrubs and be prepared to eat crow. On top of this, I'm potentially returning to my old job in the coming weeks...I meet with Human resources and management this coming Monday morning! I could end up being a busy boy! 👍😊

It's easily the biggest formation of this kind that I have ever dug 😊👍

Well, I'm whooped. Just a small load today from more digging, I'll post them later. Just wanted to show off this huge agate I dug out of the ground alongside that building I mentioned. Man, I carried this thing at least 200 feet too the car! Talk about heavy! I probably shouldn't have but I was not leaving it behind. These pictures simply do not do this beautiful piece justice at all.

Nope, totally blank. It is porcelain though 👍

First score in a while...couple handfuls of older mibs and a big bottle of mixed Vacor (maybe some Jabo in there too)

A few more shots of the marble in question. A few flea bites but still a nice marble 😊

Sorry, a day late! Nice assortment once again..it sure was nice to find something other than game marbles! Too bad that big slag is missing chunks, but the sizable Pelt Rainbo is in nice shape. A few of the white ones appear opaque and the red ones might deserve another look. Also hit the motherlode with agates, quartz and other nice rocks buried in a pile next to one of the buildings. There's one as big as a watermelon which will be a joy to carry for about 400 feet..a good day 👍

Get around too it soon!

It's a Master for sure. The other side has the white brushed patch. The spot that's giving that pontil appearance is just a reflection. The sun was breaking around the edges pretty strong and it took a few shots too get a good one. When I get a chance, I'll post it too the "Master's" thread...

I believe it's a Master...

Haven't taken the time to look alot of stuff up yet as far as time frame and identification...

Another nice little haul today, though not as big as the previous loads. Post some pics tommorow!

More pics (hopefully better ones), of the building remains we discovered not too many days ago. Also a picture of the small collapsed building that is the first one you see once back in the woods...

You betcha 👍

Nice pic!

Like Mibber said, everything appears to match...we'll see 🤞
