my marble - 4/7/2004 11:08:44 PM    diginit   Posts: 662 Joined: 4/7/2004 From: California Status: offline I found it! next to a generic aqua ink refill bottle.It seems to be real marble.Never made that connection before. It's a stone of some sort.I can picture a child playing with this in the late 1800's.just a guess considering the age of this homestead.just a grassy field now. I haven't gotten to dig in the 4 x 6' hole I assume was the outhouse,but plan to.Any hints? thanks.
