You can tell who digs privys here and who doesn't as most of the early marbles are found when privy digging. When I dig a privy I also like to sift which tends to catch most of the smalls like marbles. When I dig in a dump there is not enough time to sift and the smalls are found by the hit and miss process. If I dig one or two marbles in a day while digging in a dump, I feel fortunate. No telling how many marbles and other smalls are lost this way but bottles are the primary focus when dump digging. Thanks for the pics. Love the swirls and Chinas. Actually, I love 'em all.
