Found the marbles in a field I was planting a few weeks ago. I though this site used to have an old corn crib on it, but finding these marbles suggested and old house. I ask my 86 year old father if he remembered a house here, and he said no. An old plat map shows two structures so I thought I would give it a look over with the detector. The two indians are 1904 and 05, old house for sure, hope to find some old silver on a return trip. The old lock and tag are a bonus. My dad thinks the tag is from Montgomery Wards. The bird item, I have no idea. If anyone has a clue let me know. Thanks for looking.

Looks like a good spot. Is that a chip, or a pontil mark on that marble? Bongo
 
Thanks Rodgerdoger, I find quite a few marbles every year.

thanks Bongo. The marble looks to be machine made. Just a few flea bites and chips. Wish it had pontel marks, would make it a little more valuable.
