bumblebee Posted February 27, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2020 I got a great "owl eye" agate from a privy digger. Had what appears to be a shovel mark on it though. These marbles all have interesting stories. Some were likely thrown in to punish somebody else. Some slipped out of pockets. A few may have been, um, deposited by children who may have swallowed a marble, perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chad G. Posted October 1, 2020 Report Share Posted October 1, 2020 Loving the new pics of the sept dig @ the Heaton site, wish I lived closer, like a treasure hunt , many new mib's and new one of a kind plastic bag found, hopefully another dig before it's covered up !! Not all of my marbles are wet , some of my favorite Akro's are dug examples. Steph posted pic's of the bag on a separate thread, looked @ the dig pics on AAM, posted by cheese, can't get enough.

Al Oregon Posted October 1, 2020 Report Share Posted October 1, 2020 Bring that backhoe and dump truck(s) - start filling them up. You could dump them on your land and start a marble digging amusement park for kids (and their parents...). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
