My oldest MARBLE so far + other tidbits *Need a Duffytrash marble ID please**

ModernMiner · May 18, 2009

Nothing much today, but I had to get out as the weather was 60's, sunny, and there was a great breeze.
I hit my 1830's CW property and the whole lawn and field was trimmed nice & low. I thought I had picked the place clean, but there were a few things I missed, even BIG pieces. :icon_scratch:

I have a few "whats its" if you care to take a guess.
Any idea what the rusty iron key like piece may be, or the metal (heavy like brass) piece with rim? :icon_scratch:

In the hole with one of the pieces of metal I noticed a white ball. At first I thought it was another one of those grubs rolled into a ball. It turned out to be a large marble that I think may be clay. :icon_scratch:

Hopefully I can get an ID on it. I would love to know how old it is.

My only coin was a 41' Wheat. :occasion18:

Thanks for looking,
MM
