Digging a RARE $1,000 Dollar Marble - Bottle Digging - Antiques - Ohio History Channel

[@noneofyourbusiness3286]

Thanks!

[@rockscousteau]

Thank You so much. $9.99 100% gets me to a dump or the river to do a video. I just like 10 mins from this dump.

[@shaneapplegate1975]

I love Marbles and have been collecting them since the 70s. People paying those kind of prices for marbles have definitely lost their marbles. Vintage hand-made and machine-made American marbles are worth more than precious metal in today's world😮

[@Buddystemz]

Love to see your collection. If you have some early machine mades/Germans, I’d def buy them. I’ve spent thousands on marbles

[@klaustrumputin-trudeau4142]

You are a marble Hero who actually has held a shovel and fought Shelob the spider. I have read the comments and it seems that most of these people haven't been outside for a long time. You are our avatar. Keep digging.

[@craigfinegan6375]

So many marbles i get the odd one but just clay ones as im digging Victorian goldfields era pre 1870.Craig Australia.

[@patrickrowan1249]

AWESOME!! You earned it!!

[@clarechristmas8055]

You are so lucky to have found that area. I live in Florida and it's sandy but I did find some glass and clay marbles from an 1880's house on our property. I don't know where to go to have them appraised. I have collected them at yard sales as well. Be careful ..a lady in town dug in what was the town dump from the 1880's on and contracted a weird sickness and died. With that news keep digging!

[@NickKnackPattySmack610]

You are so lucky …. What an awesome find . Love to dig for treasures, such a great feeling

[@rockscousteau]

You got that right! Thank You. I am going back...it rained a bunch though....

I got seven German marbles at a second hand shoppe. I wouldnt have known a thing about them if it werent for your videoes. I collect insulators and bottles. But I just added marbles.

[@THE-UFO-MAN]

never relised there were so many old marbles to collect, keep it up man, good job?

[@rockscousteau]

Buddy....believe me. I am an arrowhead hunter. I had no dug on dumps since I was like 10 years old. I did a little as a kid. I had no idea either till I started doing uploads. There are marbles all over these town dumps.....I find some almost every trip....to any one I go to....in any town

[@THE-UFO-MAN]

I use to go bottle hunting with my freind, but once he stopped going with me on a hunt, I stopped too?

[@buckdharma1029]

WOW!!! That marble is gorgeous!!! I’m glad I decided to go back and check out your earlier vids.

[@irishtino1595]

We always referred to that specific marble as a "transition marble". I only have one mint example 1' gray and white, has the large fold in it. I read that they were marbles that were machine made, but on much cruder types of marble roller designs, and the glass was often hand fed into the rolling device. The beautiful long roller screw design machines were patented in the 1920, and it was an automated process.

[@cynthiaswearingen1037]

Well, it was only a matter of time before you scored big in the dump...and you did! Beautiful Christianson, just an awesome find. Nice Nu-Grape and barrel flask, too!😊💖

[@rockscousteau]

Yea...I just came back here to check stats on this video. The real score is this....This video has made $220.00 in 12 months. And RPM increased so much this year it will make that much more over the next several years....guaranteed like 5 bucks a month forever.

Wow, you do great at digs,, and you know your marbles! Very impressed!

[@rockscousteau]

I just know about some of them....marble kings and alley agates I have dug on those factory dumps. The other stuff like Peltiers....Vitros.......and some of those odd makers I am not an expert by any means. I just try and learn a little about what I dig. I am really there looking for shards of salt glazed crocks....so I can try and dig into places with those. That is what I am looking for

[@Daveyhunter6]

I just love the music you put these videos , I am thinking these are deep south blues

[@patg6705]

I want to buy a Bumble Bee to put with my marbles. How much should I expect to pay for one?? Man I'd love to go digging with you and pick up what you don't want, small bottles & broken marbles. That would be so awesome : ) I love little jars!! Awesome finds thanks for sharing. CONGRATS on the rare, two thumbs up hun

[@rockscousteau]

It wont cost you much on ebay. Lots of people dig these marble kings and sell them. If I was going to buy a Bumble Bee Shooter I would pay 10-12 dollars for it. But then you can get into ones that are like hybrids....with unique coloring and the seller may want a little more. Like 20-30 dollars. But like an average size bumble bee.....like most I find is a few bucks....1-3 dollars. You will even be able to find a lot of like a half dozen auction style on ebay......Just watch the marble category. Some people want an arm and a leg for marbles. I would say someone will want 50.00 for some on there. You just want to watch the auction style listings.....you may even be able to find an entire small collection of different marble kings in a lot...like a few bumble bees....a Wasp....A tiger....a robins egg.......and get all of them for like 20-25 bucks. It just depends.

Cool stuff man. Sweet marble and that barrel flask was pretty neat so was the Nu Grape bottle.

[@vineyardsky]

I especially love watching your video's of dump digging, because I love marbles! I make wire wrapped, or netted pendants. If you're ever interested in bartering some marbles for a pendant I'd love to do that. The broken marbles if they are close to half the original size might be set in silver as if they were a cabochon. They'd probably have to be ground smooth on the flat side.

I can still buy it at this little general store in this little river town in glass bottles. They still make it. I do not see it often.....but I tell you this.....it is delicious. It is maybe my favorite drink of all time. It is good mixed with vodka as well. You can make a mean mixed drink with some squirt.

Marbles value depends 9n the surface. I have over 6000 antique marbles. Like a coin just because it's similar it's not the same . With out macro view of the glass surface they are worth a dime each.

[@rockscousteau]

I think the marble in this video sold for $455.00. It was around that number. I have been digging marbles like this since the late 1980's. I sold on ebay for close to a decade. Believe me man.....they are not worth a dime a piece. Even decent marbles in average condition.....sell like hot cakes.

Awesome discovery brother. Hard work paid off again. There may be more, fingers crossed. I recommend gloves, glasses and a hard hat. When raking you can see the potential of very small objects flying at you. Also when reaching in to retrieve items the overburden can fall on your head, neck and back. Digging in those dumps has many hazards. Take care brother. Excellent video.

Found a marble king clear opaque in blue great shape from a set of four from the thirties on top of a dump pile in a thirties coal camp it's yours for the asking if you want it this coal camp had a tent city estimated at 100000 people covering a 15 to twenty mile stretch here in colo almost every dump has been plowed and burned yet this marble was right on top I also found a salt shaker shaped like a foot with a painted face on the sole it says somthing but I can't quite make it out. Like it has a witty saying or somthing on it I picked up the marble because I am a packrat but not really as fond of them as you are !

Hope I haven't offended you but what can I say about your marble collection it's like talking to the marble god I just offered mine up because finding a single marble and from what I read it's from a set of four and although not their top marble in price it supposed to be up there in the 35 dollar range and I liked the nicest one you found but that flame red and white one in the book I'd keep a marble like that one the one I found has these two u shaped designs in white which is supposed to be indicative in identifying this marble and maybe just maybe you might not have one !
