Thanks Josh, Im not sure but I think this was all happening a little before you got the marble bug. Otherwise you would have been there. Looking forward- you never know when a site will become dig friendly but anything’s possible ….and your’e local!

Loved the opportunity to visit the town over 20 years ago and see marble sites with Ron Shepherd and my marble friend, Ron Shaw...both deceased now. We had a morning of fun with Ron Shepherd digging a few Cairo Agate marble examples and glass cullet. Had a few pieces of large glass cullet made into large shooter marbles and kept a purple marbles melted cluster.

Hi Jeff. Ok cool ✅ Yes I will be there, I don’t think KZbin removed your comment. I can see it here. Or maybe you posted something specific that they didn’t like. Who knows? I uploaded an earlier version of this video a few hours ago and had to delete it because of audio issues. But I think that is a separate issue. Looking forward to seeing you in Minneapolis!

Wow. I got a box of marbles a few years ago from an online estate auction. Several of them have been identified as Cairo, Ravenswood, and early Alley. I wish I had kept the information of exactly whose estate they came from for more history. But at the time I had no idea what I was buying. Just labeled as a box of vintage marbles. ❤

Greeting from New Zealand; I am a Chinese art school student and have only been collecting marbles seriously for a week now, after a long period of some repressed thoughts when I was a kid in the early 2010s: Living in Malaysia only cats' eye marbles and "clearies" exist, whereas on the internet there exists all kinds of opaque pastel swirls everywhere with family refusing to buy them! Didn't occur to me to have the power to get some myself until now so I impulsively spent nearly half a grand USD on nothing but vintages... Let's hope I can earn that amount back after satisfying childhood urges, haha.

Like I said in the video “Please take heed: the lot is now privately owned, there is no trespassing permitted and that no trespassing clause is strictly enforced “ have you ever been escorted off a property while looking down the barrel of a shotgun? It’s happened here, and could happen to you here .
