Fun Marble Hoard at a Dump.

[RatherBeDigging]

Had 90 minutes for a stop at a dump I've been neglecting to explore much. It's mostly 1940s and 50s stuff on top. Seems to go a little older at least based on stuff in the water, though not before the 1920s.

Anyway, I was digging around a large busted stoneware crock and a few marbles popped out. Then the marbles kept going along with the mini silver plated spoon and the drinking glass. Clearly some kids toys at some point. Lot of wheels to toy cars. Even pulled out a plastic tractor with headless driver. Was a fun dig. Instant marble collection. Bottles haven't been anything worth taking home. I brought home a cobalt jar and a glass Armstrong's insulator.

Nice pile of marbles
I had a similar experience in an old circa 1910-1920 dump I was digging. Ran into a pocket of marbles, but they were clay marbles.

I was the marble king in middle school. My mother threw them all away when I grew up

I suspect someone's mother did the same here. Lot of plastic toy parts in this pocket.
