Cool Little Spill - Circa 1900ish

[pointdlr]

I thought this find was post worthy, b/c 2 of the items found are not metal. I recieved a faint signal at a local park. I dug down about 6" before my probe would sound off. I knew I had another couple inches, so I opened the hole up deeper, and flipped the dirt onto my drop cloth. The 2 marbles were sitting there staring at me. Another 1/2-1" and I had the Indian Head. I am assuming they were lost at the same moment, but I don't know much about marbles. Do the marbles fit the period of the 1902 Indian? Is this a plausible pocket spill judging by the contents? Thought someone might be interested to these items.
The rest of the hunt produced a 1907 V Nickle, a 1909 Wheat, and a pile of other wheaties I didn't really look at. No Silver!

I don't know how old the marbles are but one is a clay marble and I know that one is old...........but how old Nice IH and marble finds. The marbleguy on the marble forum will be able to help you. He seems to be the expert

I'm not the expert..

I think duffy's the marble expert. All I can say is the clay marble fits with 1902 date. The other marble might be European.

its neat how we can get a signal, dig it, find something else,
then find the metal that gave off the signal.
ive done this numerous times and it still facinates me.
