Excellent scores on some really nice relics. Cool old token coin, skeleton key, money clip, pendant, and hoard of MARBLES! I have never seen so many marbles collected from the dirt in one hunt before. That's cool as heck. Nice hunting mate.

Great research on the token I love my tokens especially my 1800’s saloon token from News Orleans French Quarter. Great relics, splash of silver and my favorite at times marbles. I would love that sight I tell ya. Congratulations

Yep, excellent variety. How were all those marbles rounded up?
Congratulations on your finds.

The marbles were in a trash burn area at the back of the lot, most were on top of the ground, some were half covered up
