I've been digging bottles now for just over three months. Everything I have is from the same dup site in Lexington Ky...

Here's a look at my "Toy Box"... Doll parts, miniature dishes, and some pipe pieces too...

Well back to your finds. That's some Cool stuff..... I especially like the marbles and the mini dishes .

Hi lexdigger, some great finds there well done [:D] . As for keeping lots of odds and ends keep it up, I'm by no means a newbie but I still keep almost everything I come across, I think it's a pity some people piff everything that's not worth money back into the hole.

Brian, a lot of people here get there dug marbles tumbled if they are a bit the worse for wear, they seem to come up OK.
