Been hunting a construction site, and have been adding a few more marbles to my collection.
These are all of the marbles I have ever found while metal detecting, and many are surface finds.
I did find a couple more un-painted clays the other day, including one big one.
Just wanted to share pics, and possibly get some info on some of them.
Do you guys see any good ones?
I can take better pics and add them, if you see any you like.
Thanks for looking

Nice little collection!
You have them from the early 20th century or so to the 1970s or 80s. I don't see any super rare ones but the yellow and blue in the middle of the right side is a Akro corkscrew from the 1930s, worth a few bucks if in mint condition. I see a couple of japanese cross-through cateyes, which might be worth a few bux... they are the cateyes with the white vane that goes straight through the other colors. Most of the rest are fairly common I think. Thanks for sharing!
 

Cheese, I'm trying to figure out what the marble at 1:00 in the last pic might be. Can you tell from the pic?

And, yes Bonepicker, thanks for sharing....love seeing what folks find!
 

The one with orange and white on a blue transparent base?

No, not that one - but I can see why you thought that b/c that one is at 1 p.m. (guess I need to re-study clocks!) It is the one below that at 2 p.m. - almost looks oxblood, but can't quite tell.
 

Looks like an Alley swirl. I don't think it's oxblood, just a strange brown.
 

Wow, congrats on the spanish silver! I haven't even breached the seated silver barrier yet!
