Bike Dave Posted September 1, 2020 Report Share Posted September 1, 2020 Hello everyone. My girlfriend and I are planning a bike trip. We want to go to the marble museum and ride the rail trail to a "haunted" tunnel near Cairo. I want to ride around St. Mary's, Cairo, and Pennboro. We will be on our bikes but I thought kicking around a couple marble sites to find some marbles would be fun. We usually collect rocks and I thought some glass ( cullet?) or imperfect marbles would be fun to pick up as well. I know marbles are made of glass....there I told you everything I know about marbles. As you can tell from that statement this is a bike trip with marbles just for fun. I could bring a hand trowel in my bike bag but that's as hard core as I want to get. On a bike there is not much room to store a lot of treasure either. Any tips, spots, ideas would be great.

Steph Posted September 2, 2020 Report Share Posted September 2, 2020 Hello. Welcome. Don't know if there are any company sites left to dig at, with or without permission. Ron has done a LOT of digging over the years. If there's anything left, he would know. @wvrons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheese Posted October 31, 2020 Report Share Posted October 31, 2020 The marble sites are private property or government property and they fight poachers all the time. Daily. You may have no problem or you may have serious problems. One factory site is owned by the local magistrate judge ( I know him) and he shows up at random times and has trail cameras out.

cheese Posted October 31, 2020 Report Share Posted October 31, 2020 One site I know of that could probably be walked but it's been heavily dug and now the homeless live on it. Someone was killed there a while back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad G. Posted October 31, 2020 Report Share Posted October 31, 2020 Think I'll take my chances of falling through at the old city dump, or go to the court house and look @ the old city map for the homesteads and outhouse sites and dig w/ my bottle buddy !! Feeling old if not getting there yet !!! I don't know Chuck, "maybe" if you supply the flack jacket's, ammo and do the diggin ????? At least the title of this thread is right, ( Planning a marble " hunting " trip ) Chad G. Drop the shovels and give up them mibs, NOW !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
