Left the metal detector at home and went lookin' for glass.

The creek had LOADS of marbles including a great shooter thats red and yellow and a large clay one.I also found a couple of bottles I have already found one of those little vicks bottles while MDing heres another one,frostilla bottle (its not brown its just dirty its really clear, a porcelain door knob ,half a bisque baby , a porcelain horse that at one time had a rider which has seen better days.This certain creek was used as a dump from 1880's till the 1940's.So items have a good age range.I guess the shooter marble is the best find today.I have never seen so many marbles in one creek before and i am sure we missed some ! The hurricane made all the creeks in my area over flow a lot and that drag out all kinds of oldies !

Must not be any bottle diggers around today .

Anybody know anything about marbles ? I know bottles but not marbles really.

Reddie,

Awesome finds!! Know nothing about marbles, but I love to find old ones. Love those bottles too, I like to research to find out more about each one.

Looks like you had a good day at the creek.

GREAT MARBLES!! I don't know anything about them, but they sure bring back fond memories. I've never seen a Vick's bottle that was so small. It's cool.

Looks like you had a good day playing in the creek and getting wet (based on the drops of water in the background of your pic).

Great marbles,I always love finding marbles.I guess thats because they take me back to my childhood and pleasant times.
