I went to the park today just to break up the monotony of work I was only supposed to be gone for an hour or two. So after my three hours were up I went to the little creek and decided to check out this one area of gravel bed well it turned into me doing another hour of obsessing over small glass balls. You would swear when I saw one I was snatching up gold. Lol I’m in the creek on my knees using my shovel to move gravel 6 inches deep from side to side just trying to get a glimpse of some color. I found plenty of shards as well. Brightened up my day I must admit. IMG_1832.webpIMG_1833.webp A poor man’s J hook IMG_1834.webp

Those marbles can be very collectible to the right Sod eh..Theres a collector for just about eeverything Good diggings bro
 

LOL at poor man's J-hook.....mine's a crappie jig :tongue3:
 

I’ve had days where a marble is the best thing I can find. Well done!!
 

seen days when a marble would have saved the day and you found several, sweet
 

Marbles are cool. I lost mine a long time ago.
 

All that glitters is not gold, lol. Nice marbles!
 

Once in a while i dig an old marble , it always kinda cheers me up ! Marbles have gone away .
 

When I was in elementary school in the 50’s we played a game with marbles. Wouldn’t be able to do that now. Nice finds.
 

Marbles are really cool. Nice finds! Congrats! :icon_thumleft:
 

Great find hopefully I can find my marbles. I lost them when I started metal detecting.[emoji3][emoji106]
 

Those ain't marbles, those are CW slingshot musket balls! Nice group. Sub 8-)
 

I’m trying to picture you as a big man on your knees in a creek digging with a shovel and getting excited when finding a marble. Lol. I like marbles too. Just seems funny that us older big guys (not kids anymore) still get excited finding marbles. Nice finds Truth. I think you would be a blast to detect with.
 

Nice finds Truth! Not very nice up here today, temps will be way below zero! Good day to put my clad coins from 2018 into the tumbler!

Hawk I was in a park in the creek, that’s looked at like the sewer because there’s a river on the other side, looking like I was making snow angels in the dirty gravel with the shovel Lol
 

Every time I go I'm always looking for those "obvious" good finds. Silver, gold, jewelry, coins etc. But I am *ALWAYS* looking for what I call "exit finds". Those lil bits of wonderful happiness that's different and always brings a smile. Buttons, marbles, bottles, arrowheads...( which, to date, I've only found *one*!!!)

Don't be worrying about thinking you've lost your "marbles". In truth...you really have found a true means of happiness!

Good job finding and GOOD for you! For taking the time to notice, gather and share!
