Clay marble

[collector01]

Found this marble in a flower bed along the sidewalk near dowtown. Town from 1686. I'd say my favorite find of the year. I may have found spanish silver, lc's, 1600s buckle and lots of buttons, bottles and indian artifacts this year. But after 27 years of digging, probing, looking I had never found one. Ok, now you can go back to looking at all the great finds being found. HH!

Found my 2nd one this year 3 days ago off white. It’s was in the same plug of a 1907 V Nickel. I just love them best because you really gotta get luck. I got very lucky because they had some shells in the plug the same color. Congratulations on yours and the rest of your finds.

As I put on Truth2153's last post, " great find". I always like to find the clay marbles. Congrats on your first one. A piece of advice to those of you looking for a clay marble. If you have access to hunting the fields, try to look for a spot where an old schoolhouse stood. That is where I have found the majority of mine. You will also find them where the old homesteads stood, but the schoolhouses are obviously going to have a higher percentage of success. I know not everyone has access to fields, but your chances will increase. I did find an orangish colored clay marble one time in a yard. It was buried in the hole with two Indian Head pennies. So you yard hunters, dont give up !

Congratualtions on the marble find, they are very special!

I have had the pleasure of finding many of them and each one is very special to me. To think a child long ago loved this "toy" and probably played with it on a daily basis.

Clay marbles are special to me as well. Someone had to create it and then it became a toy for a child. Congrats on adding a cool old relic to your collection of treasures.
