1905 IHP, 9 wheats, a small herd of Buffalos, 1945 War Nickel, 2 early Jefferson from the 40s, grocery and market piece, religious medal, crushed ring, cufflink, button, lead piece at the bottom reads " Universal " but its backwards, any ideas?, Richfield Cadet Wings,
Baltimore Dry Docks employee badge, Awesome shooter, 2 regular marbles, Finally my Blue Bennington, and a regular clay Marble. I feel like im in marble heaven. Last but not least the center piece is a porcelain door knob that I found at that site that McDig had shown me earlier this month.

You are killing the marbles. The blue Bennington is awesome. I just got my first clay marble and am all about them. Big congrats and you are very lucky to have a site like that. Nice coins too.

Nice coins and marbles! Don't those early 40s Jeffersons grind your gears? Not quite buffalos, not quite silver.

never hear of a "blue bennington" before. Now you have me wanting one really bad! Like I need more stuff on my Bucket List?!? Fantastic hunt on old coins and relics. BUT< the prize of the show is the Blue Bennington! She is indeed a thing of beauty. I cherish every eyeball find I get especially non metallic items like marbles. I must have a hundred by now I reckon. No BLUE Benningtons though...:sad7:

Thanx Tom, Im sure glad to dig all these nice keepers, being wanting a blue bennington since I started researching into old marbles, I had found the about 6 brown ones, but never a blue one.

Yes, but I still keep them since I keep wheats from the late 50s, Im like why not keep Jeffersons from the 40s.
