D.H. Moore owned the White Elephant Saloon in Paris, Texas (not the saloon with the same name in Ft. Worth).

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
