I also found this 1945-S Mercury dime at the old railroad site. It may be a later drop because I believe the railroad shut down the station in the 1920's or 1930's at the latest. Also several old metal buttons, a real mother of pearl button by eyeball and my very first clay marble. I can't identify any of the buttons, maybe off someone's pants, but the one with the lyre-looking thing has a ring on the back like it may be off a coat or uniform. I haven't cleaned any of them yet, so please pardon the dirt.

Here are some of them. Not too exciting, but definitely some firsts for me! :clapping:

Thanks for looking.

[size=x-large][/size]That Railroad site looks like it's going to be a great place, you did good..........:clap:
 
Good finds you have there. By chance is that "clay marble" heavy and did the metal detector find it? IF so, I would say that was a musket ball. The button looks like it came from a band uniform of some type. Cool finds there and I bet there's many more treasures there. Thanks for sharing and HH, Nancy
 
[size=x-large][/size]Nancy, I have found some clay marbles here in OK. They are picked up by the detector but is a faint signal no VDI reading have also found some clay doll heads and Indian pottery................:thumbup:.... It might have something to do with the mineral make up of the clay.
 
Wow, that's cool. I guess the only way one would know if it were a marble or musket ball would be the weight? Thanks Bob for enlightening me! Hmm. COOL!
 
The "marble" is definitely not a musket ball. It isn't heavy and does not respond to the MXT. I've seen clay marbles before so I believe this is what it is. It's actually so light weight that I wonder how it could even be effective as a marble.

This is the same railroad site where I found the silver 1885 25 Centavos (the one I thought was some kind of weird quarter until I cleaned it) and a 1903 Barber dime recently, so it seems to be turning out pretty good so far. :wiggle:

Thanks to all for looking and for your comments!

Marc
 
I have to say, that's the first clay marble I've ever seen. I've learned something new about marbles. Thanks Marc and Bob!
