With all the oyster shells, are you sure that marble isn't a pearlSeriously I have clay marbles come up in my holes all the time.

We used to find them in neighborhood gardens as kids. I dug a circa 1915 bottle dump where someone must have thrown a bag of them out. Got several dozen out of there. Can think of at least two that showed up while digging targets this year, including one large shooter.Seriously spoiled you are then. Digging in the soils in these parts I don't get any-then maybe nobody had any of them to loose in the first place.
Congrats my friend , glad my "Lil Girl" could help you find something at least... "D"

Well done truth on the marble and what looks like part of a stud-small little thing-shows that you're on the game getting wee things like that.
That is a Collar Stud. They used them to attach the old time collars to shirts. I have found a number of them at ghost towns in my area. It can be an indicator of the age of a site, and is a good find.

I like the marble as well...I have found lots of marbles over the years but never a clay one.
Congratulations on the find...at least you did not get skunked
Wow CoiinHuntrt I appreciate you so much let me know that I knew it had to be something and I’m glad I put it in my top pocket and not in my trash bag. It’s people like you that I learned so much from and I appreciate you and all the members of TNet
