Bad day of digging turned into a unique experience.

[Truth]

I went to the park today just to break up the monotony of work I was only supposed to be gone for an hour or two. So after my three hours were up I went to the little creek and decided to check out this one area of gravel bed well it turned into me doing another hour of obsessing over small glass balls. You would swear when I saw one I was snatching up gold. Lol I’m in the creek on my knees using my shovel to move gravel 6 inches deep from side to side just trying to get a glimpse of some color. I found plenty of shards as well. Brightened up my day I must admit. A poor man’s J hook

Marbles are always an excellent find in my book Truth. It looks like you did well in the creek.

Where do you buy a sifter?

Here is a couple I bought from a local hobby show. They are out of business now

Here is my sifter. I have actually sifted for clay marbles (successfully) in an old dump with it.
