Love that glower and that big button!!!!

[@rockscousteau]

I like that button too. I always try and picture the coat in my mind. I bet this was off some big heavy colored wool coat

[@CoastalGardening]

😎👍🙏

[@YoucancallmeMarcie]

Come on Mr rocks!!!

[@kevindrummond3979]

Nice Marbles ! Nice Frame !

[@erictaylor8523]

Really nice marbles!!

[@rockscousteau]

Thank you! Cheers! At least I am back on some good ones. I honestly am not sure who even made those last 2 nice ones. That first one looks like a Vitro with the filaments....but that odd curl on the top of it is just odd looking to me. I dunno on that. And the glowing swirl.....maybe an Alley? But maybe not. Maybe some other pre 1970 swirl of some kind.

[@Travelling..Bottle..Digger]

That's a glower alright ! Wow !!

[@rockscousteau]

I wonder what that is? I thought it was one of those Shimmering Spuce Marbles. But I dunno. And that first one...I was leaning towards a vitro....but I dunno on that either.

[@sun9912]

Cool find bro

[@juliegriffin7609]

That green marble really does glow! That orange swirl was nice. The little red figure was a nice find as well. That button looked awesome in the cosmetics case. Squirrel Buddy is a lucky , spoiled boy. Lol. 💖💯

[@rockscousteau]

I am going to try and go back up here in a little bit. I just got pad a few days ago...got all kinds of donuts at walmart. And ate them all. LOL. I have felt lazy and tired since i did. Way to much sweet stuff. I ate like an entire dozen of them the first day. Big mistake

[@MysticRuler-n4j]

Great finds!!! That one looked like it was part corkscrew and part conqueror. Love that ingot!!! Squirrelman Rules!!!

[@rockscousteau]

Thanks 👍 I know on that half and half marble. You know how on some of the marbles...like the Vitro's. After you handle enough of them. You can tell....by the feel of the glass? I think that is a vitro.....it is just an odd one. It feels like a Vitro. The glass is different....NICE QUALITY on those marbles...not prone to chipping or cracking. Quality stuff. and that is what it feels like...all the others

[@nolasdollsandaquatics9386]

Filled up that big frame fast! 🎉

[@rockscousteau]

Yea. But next time I am going with the smaller frame. That is for sure. LOL. I feel old after this one.

[@jhallack7491]

Nice marbles!!!

[@rockscousteau]

Glad you like them! I am going to go try and find some more today. I found some yesterday....but all the real good ones were melted or damaged in some way. I found a German Hand Made marble that would have just been awesome....but broken.

[@auntal3482]

Very nice marbles‼️. Thanks for the adventure❗️

[@rockscousteau]

You bet

[@lauraleehawes5266]

that clear marble I have one next to me it is the top of a lamp shade that's from 1940's or 50's it would screw down the lamp shade. Have a awesome day Rock's Family!!

[@wowzkzenith5976]

Collections marbles are decades old but still some people like me collect it and I respect it

[@dimagiojimenez514]

Awesome finds! Especially the glowing marble.

[@rockscousteau]

Thanks! If it doesnt rain to hard I am going back to that same hole to dig more. I am not sure what either of those marbles are for sure. Those are both kind of odd. I will go spend 3 or 4 hours in there next time...see what goodies come out. Stay safe man

[@GaryParris-sd8gg]

Good Good stuff brother Rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@rockscousteau]

Ah not to bad. At least I found some stuff and did not get shot at....or bit by a snake.LOL

[@wolfgangricky]

Yes, from Stop/Caution/Detour signs. Pre WW2 That's a Special Marble. Ty for taking us along

[@rockscousteau]

I was thinking that. I said it a while ago in a video it was a stop sign marble and some marble collector yelled at me and told me it was from a spray can. LOL. So I was not sure. Thanks man

[@rockscousteau]

I will have to try and locate a good sign like that now to show in future videos. I will buy one

[@wolfgangricky]

@@rockscousteau The metal behind it is polished to a mirror shine & the marble intensifies it. As many shops of antiques you visit, you will see one eventually.

[@jimlynnjarman9797]

I would love to see a whole frame of marbles under the black light!

[@deanlibby5878]

Thanks!

[@rockscousteau]

Thank You dean. I appreciate it. Please listen to what I have to say at the beginning of the next upload. I mean it, And I greatly appreciate this. I need to make money here to stay comeptitive.

[@deanlibby5878]

How would sending money to the car dealership make you more competitive?

[@neweyes777]

@ 5: 10, the Marble set into a housing is what some of my grandmother's glass bottles had in them, she used them as stoppers, I have one or two in my little bottles. It could be a stopper or for an old car just as you said. You are the most energetic, relentless and courageous digger on you tube. Be good, much love.

[@rockscousteau]

Yea for sure. I am not 100% on what that is yet. I will have to look up some stuff

[@EvanLightner304]

That ormet thing is awesome. Know a lot of old fellas that worked there

[@rockscousteau]

Yea. I did too. But all the ones i knew well....are dead now. My neighbor wored there. But there are two plants. A rolling mill...and then an upper plant. I am not sure what each did.

[@cynthiaswearingen1037]

I love the orange swirl with filaments, Rocks, it's a beauty. The Ormet ingot is a nice piece of Ohio Valley History!❤

[@rockscousteau]

I wonder what that is...that marble with the filaments? It looks kind of like a Vitro? But I am not sure. Could be something else. And the glower. Maybe an Alley? I thought it was a shimmering spruce.....whern I saw it roll. But I dont think so. I will have to look at some photos

[@deloradeabel8487]

The marble in the metal cap is baffleing!🐿🐈‍⬛🐕‍🦺🔮🎼🎶🎵

[@rockscousteau]

Yea. I know what you mean. After you start looking at all this stuff coming out....you are baffled most of the time. Jesus...people drank alot back then too. About every other bottle on this place is a fifth of whiskey from 1950. People were just drunk in thi town

[@deloradeabel8487]

I think that’s true in every town,when I use to dig here in N.Cali.there always seemed to be lots of heavy drinking going on over here too!

[@barbaracrites8735]

The clear marble in the housing was used in the old stop signs.

[@rockscousteau]

I thought so. It has been 2 decades since I have seen one of those old signs. And I never really looked at the marbles in them up close. Thanks.

[@russcalabrese7561]

Man, you got some really nice marbles out of that spot, case looks sweet! He really likes the raspberries,having a feast 😊

[@rockscousteau]

Thanks 👍I hope I can get like a dozen in there ....there are nice marbles in that last spot.'Even that first spot....with the marble kings. I can go there too. That is the spot I found that last multi colored hybrid cat eye. No more of those yet,..but I am hoping for some more of those

[@Swamp-Fox]

That Ormet Aluminum ingot is super cool! That corkscrew marble is awesome!

[@rockscousteau]

I wonder if that is even a corkscrew.? That is odd. So is that glowing swirl. I am not sure what either of them are for sure

[@neweyes777]

It just hit me, many Stained Glass Windows contain real, round jewels and different colored marble in them also, only Older American made Stained Glass has this feature. Much love.

[@rockscousteau]

I never thought of that. I am going to have to research all this...and buy whatever these marbles were mounted in to show in uploads. I will 100% find more of them. Some of them look like they have sheets of Mica in them....

[@scottwitt1397]

Rocks keep on digging!

[@rockscousteau]

I pooped out up there in this one. I had to go clean up the flood mess early for my mom. Id say some nice ones will come out of that last place I was on. It is looking like rain though....hopefully not to much. Hope you are good man. I will try and keep finding stuff. I went to the river today again...it went down more...a good bit. And everything that was uncovered looks even muddier than the resty of it. More trash and junk and mud than I have ever seen.

[@jerryrollins5209]

Awesome job on the marbles

[@rockscousteau]

Yea. it was about time I found a few nice ones. There was a good bit of time spent off camera looking around. I was thinking there for a while....I found em all. LOL. Thanks for the comment man. Appreciated.

[@donbaisden1519]

I been watching a lot of your videos and really enjoyed them. Way too much work for an ole chap like me.I also really like when you go to the antique stores. Keep up the great work. Thanks

[@rockscousteau]

Believe me Don. I am 50 years old. And I am hurting most of the time. I just dont let on. I figure at some point....I will be walking with a cain

[@ismewhat1234]

Nice cool stuff rocks 👍

[@realtimestrategy227]

Interesting aluminum piece, love it.

[@rockscousteau]

Yea, Super Odd. That factory is like 3 miles from my house. I have family members who used to work there. Never seen one of these.

[@batescountry]

Love that Ormet weight, my grandad and uncle both retired from there, very cool, great find !!

[@rockscousteau]

Yea i have had all kinds of family work there. And all of them that did are deceased. Wish they were still here so I could ask them about this.

[@rockscousteau]

My neighbor I gave that Milk to from powhattan worked there too

[@cyndybutler7330]

Cool marbles cool treasure

[@rockscousteau]

Thanks for watching! I will stay longer where I found those last 2 nice marbles tomorrow and go for some real nice ones. I got pooped out today. I had to go clean up river lots and mow all AM....and was whipped when i got up there.

[@georgiaware3248]

Hi there that clear and white Marble with dark orange swirl & Filaments is a Masterpiece 😁Thanks much 🙋‍♀️🤩⭐👀🐿️🤗

[@rockscousteau]

Oh I know. I honestly am not sure exactly what that is.

[@rockscousteau]

I am not sure of that is some off vitro with filaments or what?

[@georgiaware3248]

@@rockscousteau isn't there a marble ID App???

[@rockscousteau]

@@georgiaware3248 Well there is an app for everything. But. If you read into marbles....an app is going to do no good. Most of the marble factories......they kept no record of what they made. The only way to tell who made them is if they are in the packaging they came in. So an app....is just guessing. I think it could get to a far better degree of accuracy if the State of West Virginia did some Archaeological digs around the marble factories. Some of the marbles I find......what it could be....I may be wrong. Know what i mean? I dont think the identification is an exact science. Plus you 100% have glass blowers making FAKES. And some of the guys making the marbles....the fakes........are experts. If you do not think that is happening......well it is.

[@rockscousteau]

Like every other thing humans are involved with. it is a mess. LOL

[@radoutdoors852]

I love your enthusiasm for this stuff. It's awesome that you bring these items back to life. I used to work in the Ormet plant. They would pour small samples from each batch into molds for lab testing on the exact alloy chemistry. That was a cool find. Keep up the great work!

[@rockscousteau]

I went to another dump in the same town. Close to this factory. Ormet. And found a cast Aluminum sling shot. Id say some dude made there for his kid....and probably cast many of them. I gacve this ormet thing to a guy who used to work there. He said he remembered these on guys desks when he started there. I think it si from maybe the first run of aluminum they made

[@radoutdoors852]

@rockscousteau I saw that video too. Just awesome man. I found your channel because of your river flint hunts but I'm enjoying it all. You ever go up the Muskingum?

[@robbybobby64]

Keep all the aluminum. Keep it like stackers do. Gold, silver, copper and aluminum. SquirrelMan eating the raspberries. He is busting you to go out. The fruit goes right thru me too!

[@rockscousteau]

All the cans I am seeing by the roads. I was thinking about just picking up cans....for like an entire day. And see how much i get at the recycling place. I used to do that as a kid and take the money and buy baseball cards, From 1979-1982 I was the can picking Master,. LOL

[@rockscousteau]

I saw some guy on here in a video melting down cans he picked up at home in some kiln with a torch...and pouring them into bars. It was pretty cool.

[@rockscousteau]

I used to buy silver monthly prior to starting this. LOL. But after starting this.....the money is so much less.....I just have to hope for some in the dump. I have 800 pounds of silver though. So I am good.

[@robbybobby64]

@@rockscousteau me and my brothers did the can collecting when we were young and we got crap for them. Those plates are like finding 1000 cans at once. Good score.

[@OliviaGoodwin-ft4pr]

I think it might be a reflector out of an old cats eye that used to be in the road back in the time. some nice marbles..stay safe...

[@rockscousteau]

Thanks for the info

[@williammurrow58]

I've got a few of those marbles with the reflector in them, never thought about them being from a sign but after seeing it mounted in that piece of metal, you're spot on. Definitely from a sign. And man..those other marbles you found are smokers!

[@rockscousteau]

Yea I never really did either. I just tend to kind of look at stuff more after I dig it. And started looking at these...some of them even look like they have sheets of Mirror in them. or a mica like sheet. I am not positive they are from a sign....but I would say so. i would have to have a sign with some in it to be 100%. i will look for one and ask around. Try and buy one if that is the case

[@larrymiller672]

Thanks for another cool video.Read the comments and ditto.😎🏖️👍🌅🌞

[@wellmike]

That reflector marble is something new to me. Let us know if you learn more about them. Mike

[@rockscousteau]

Oh me too Mike. I only thought they may be from signs. And I am still not sure 100%. That is odd for sure. They are like "Mirror Marbles". LOL. I dont know what to think

[@wellmike]

@@rockscousteau I bet you are right. Someone will know. Mike

[@wellmike]

Thanks again! Thank god it was payday. Like about everyoine else these days. I was broke a week prior. LOL. I was down to may last 20 bucks. That is how this is. LOL

@@rockscousteau I hear that!! We've only got 3 cats and 1 dog, but they all need their "brands"...oh, and cat litter! That keeps going up too.

[@Jane_Dow]

I think your right about that reflective marble. I've seen those Stop signs that have the reflective marbles in them, they sure catch your headlights well. Towns that are being restored to their olden days, should bring those back, to give the town that antique feel. That " Ornet " aluminum bar is pretty nice, where you going to put it, Finds Shelf or China Cabinet ? :~)

[@rockscousteau]

Yea. I can remember seeing those years ago. They are nice. But I have not seen one in a store for decades. I bet those go for a bunch of money now

[@THEBULK1023]

the angle of that aluminum thing makes me think it's a doorstop

[@rockscousteau]

I am not sure. I dont know what to think about that. Such an oddity

[@jerrysadventures8952]

you score on marbles today

[@anthonymessina2834]

They also set those mirrored marbles in the road along the center white/yellow lines. They showed up very well.

[@rockscousteau]

Yea. I was thinking that too a little bit ago. This could be that too. You know they have those orange colored things on the road now to catch the light.

[@anthonymessina2834]

@@rockscousteau - Exactly Rocks.

[@TheLegobug]

I believe they actually sold those ingots for casting small parts. Is it 16oz?

[@rockscousteau]

Hmmm....I dunno. They probably could have. I have never seen an ingot this small. Wouldnt it be awesome If I found like 500 of them all there on that hill. You could list one ebay auction with 500 available and like $8.00-$10.00 each Buy it now. I doubt there are more though. And I doubt they dumped many of them...probably just remelted them

[@rockscousteau]

It was odd I found that big sheet of thick aluminum later. I was like 15-20 yards away from where the ingot came from. I dont ever remember finding any aluminum like this on any dumps. To bad there was not like 500 pounds of aluminum laying there. I could have had a nice payday at the reccycling place

[@danfetters6494]

[@squatchthumper7537]

Where do u get your Riker Display Cases from?

[@rockscousteau]

Usually the Antique Mall of Marietta. And I just buy them there to support a local business. But Amazion has them. So does ebay. You want the made in the USA cases. And I would just buy a case of them. It is the best price that way. I think the american manufacturer even has a website you can buy directly from.
