that is a Marble King Factory dump in West Virginia. They dumped so many of these it is ust crazy is it not. There are so many marbles on that place 1000 people could not dig them all in 100 years...not even close
Maybe if it was an Alley Agate dump or an Akro Agate dump. This stuff is not as good. But it is if I stay all day and fill half gallon jars I dig. I can at least get some money from the art standpoint
Amazing finds at the marble dump. Like you said you could find millions of marbles an cullet glass. An that's at just one spot you have to dig at. Rock, you have the best place to dig pretty much anything imaginable. You have found so many things from the past not to even mention your marbles or native artifacts that you unearth. I know it's your passion an you will never stop digging or sifting unless your health won't allow you to. I can only imagine what your true collection must really look like. I would say that it contains more then most people could only imagine. I've told you before rock, you truly rock. Your collection of things you have found over the years is truly amazing. An I've only seen what you have shared with us on your videos. So once again I can only imagine what your collection really looks like if you had it all displayed to be viewed. Rock great video my brother. An truly awesome finds at the marble site dump. Thanks for taking us on this adventure with you to collect all the marbles an the glass used to make them with many years ago. As always safe an happy hunting/digging. Catch ya on your next outting. 😁👍👍
Love watching these older videos I’m slowly working my way to have watching every video I love marble kings I know I e said it before there my favorites love the colors
Yea it looks great. It really isnt heaven at all. The ground is toxic. All this was dumped pre EPA....and all the chemicals involved in the glass making process were dumped too. The ground is probably one of the TOP 10 most toxic places in the United States. Maybe even top 5. I had to go buy all kinds of waterproof body coverings today so I am not in contact with the ground. Even breathing the air after raking can cause lung cancer. It is a bad BAD place to be. But makes for some good vids
I have enthralled by box turtles. Since I was 35. Now I'm 69. I couldn't comment to you the 2 days you rescued the box turtles recently. But my dad told Me that the Male ones have bright red eyes and female box turtles have brown eyes and a flat bottom shell. I think you have the right to know since you love them so much!
Good Afternoon Brother . Wow , amazing glass ! Not going to even ask . At least a hundred people in front of me . That place just blows my mind . Thanks ,,,, Later ,,,,
Rocks, thank you for all your hard work posting so many videos. I absolutely love watching what you’re going to find next. I have been watching faithfully for almost a year now. This marble dump was a new adventure for me and I loved it! You live in the best playground I have seen. Dump digging, arrowhead hunting and marble dump all in your area. I’m living vicariously through you, ty. I miss you having your giveaways. You should give away some of your least favorite marble in a jar, I would love to try winning that, it would be a great birthday present for my best friend, she loves marbles. Well, happy new year Mr Cousteau!
Perfect video! The ONLY thing I can imagine that would have made it better, was if Squirrel Man was sitting on a rock watching you in that creek. Later!
Well that was a awesome binge watch, we really enjoyed watching, nice finding the caps that match the bottles 👍 they make them complete. And look great Well done on your marble finds, you have found some fantastic one's and you're very knowledgeable about them, thank you for all your fantastic videos and we wish that 20-21 brings you rare and exquisite finds as you so deserve to find them Best wishes to you and your family little man and friends, take care as we care 👍👍👍
I will film the stuff better on the next trip. I noticed I was showing stuff with the gopro on my head and it was out of the view. I hwent and got better gloves...so I should have a beetter trip to this place in a video this week. I cleaned like 10 big jars tonight...and I am going to stay next trip till I fill them all with marbles
I am hoping the river goes down....it is really high....I would rather be finding arrowheads. Just have not been able to do that for a few weeks.Id say within a week or so Ill be able to go again...hopefully.....and it will be awesome then. These little floods wash out stuff
I just found your site, and I'm so glad I did. I watch several mudlarking channels from the UK, but I'm a southeast Tennessee girl, and I love finding a channel with finds from my part of the world.
I really like the cullet, some of it more beautiful and interesting than the marbles themselves. It's too bad these places are so toxic, but it would still be like Field Day! xo Teach
Thanks 👍 I would go more if there was not so much toxic material dumped there. They not only dumped the marbles and glass....they dumped all the toxins there too. Just having my hands in that water for 15 mins doing those few clips....gave me a skin rash. I had to go by waterproof everything today. If it wasnt for that I would go a lot more over there. I know where other factory dumps are as well....but they are even worse with toxins.
Yea.....but it is mass produced Marble King 1960's. And the place is toxic with chemicals.....they dumped all that crap along with the glass and marbles. That is why I do not go there a lot. It is a health hazard for sure. I had to go by a bunch of waterproof stuff today......so I dont get that water on my skin anymore. It gave me a rash on my wrists from sticking my hands in it for 15 mins doing some of those clips in this one. Which sucks
It would be much better if it was Alley Agate or another factory.....but this stuff for the most part....is junk. This is why I dig jars on dumps.....so I can at least make it worth something as art. The market has been flooded with this stuff for decades.
Hi Rocks, Man o man what a hot spot! I felt like a kid in a candy store watching this video. Pretty cool pieces you have. The colors! I’d fill the bucket so much, I wouldn’t be able to carry it . Lol. I ‘d need a hand truck to wheel it out of there. Lol lol. The mason jar looked sweet all filled up. Thanks again, later, Joyce. ARROW *🎱. 🇺🇸❤️
I too would love to buy some of that cullet. I have what I call a creak edge of water run off from my downspout by my house. I find slag glass in Lake Erie. I fill the runoff with pretty stones and lake slag. The cullet would be a pretty addition. Beautiful finds.
Good stuff. I'd go crazy at a place like that. One of my favorite things, to begin with, is just searching creek beds for whatever - add in those marbles and glass - I'd wanna stay all day. Smokin'. Thanks, Rocks.
I would go more.....but the bad thing about places like this....are the chemicals in the ground....in the water. Think of all the bad stuff used in the 1950's and 1960's in the glass making process. That was pre EPA.....so there is real bad stuff there. REAL BAD stuff. Id say if you were in contact with that water for long enough you would have 10 different kinds of cancer. I am going to go buy waterproof everything today.....and try and not be in contact with the water next few trips. Just from my hands being in that water...for like an hour...I had a rash on my wrists last night. It is best to go when it is dry.......i should have had on big rubber gloves
Yea it is everywhere. All the major marble factories were in West Virginia. I know places where there are piles of it 25 feet high in the woods. The only bad thing.....there are toxic chemicals as well dumped....so you have to be careful. I will have to wear gloves next time I go the full trip. and not be in contact with the water at all. The dry land dumps are safer...I may go there. That water is a toxic mix of who knows what on that place.
Thank you kindly---But this stuff is mostly average at best. There is just a bunch of it. I get a few nice marbles per trip....but the majority are just clunkers. But it makes for a nice video......i know it is hard to imagine for people who have not seen a place like this......that they actually exist. Millions of marbles to be found. Millions and Millions just there for the taking
Hey Rocks, Have you ever thought about buying a kiln & melting your own scrap glass and melting your own marbles in molds and or slumped cheese glass plates ? You could sell those online.
What a cool place you have to go whenever you want. That is an easy way to fill up those clear Mason Jars to make them a lot nicer and more valuable. I would have a hard time staying out of a place like that. I love it.
Yea.....this stuff is not that good. The Alley Dumps and Akro Dumps are where it is at....this stuff is worthless almost and not even worth selling unless you dig huge nice jars to put the stuff in. With ebay fees and shipping costs....it isnt even worth selling it.
Good Afternoon Again . Noticed that you hit 14 thousand SUBSCRIBERS ! Congratulations my Friend ! You have worked very hard to get there . Years in fact . Thanks for all the awesome videos .
It is a honey hole.....but it is a toxic waste dump. Lots of poisons dumped there too. It was pre EPA when they dumped all this stuff.....so they dumped truck loads full of toxic chemicals as well. I should be wearing gloves every trip and waterproof everything. I had a rash on my wrists just from the little contact I had with the water for a few clips. I am going to have to be careful.
Great adventure for ending up the year. I never knew the history of marbles .Now I understand the thrill of digging them in your dump videos. They are like snowflakes, no two are the same. THANK YOU for a great year of video, you have really kept my interest with your content. May 2021 be a great year for you and God bless.
This is such an awesome place! About four years ago my little brother and I came across a bridge built in 1911 and a creek that ran below it. Once we explored we found tons of bottles and marbles. I would upload pictures but I’m not sure how to do that on here. My younger brother and I love your content! Have a happy new year!
Sounds great! Happy New year. You should just film it all when you go and do videos. You can learn how to do all that watching youtube vids. People would watch you exploring creeks
Hey Rocks! THAT ...is most definitely one of the most awesome vids I've ever watched!! I'm just staring in amazement! I never knew places like that creek full of marbles existed! Just .....wow! Highly enjoyable! How do you stop? ......sheer exhaustion? Freezing? 😂 Those are some beautiful pieces of glass! Can't pick a favorite!
Marble King heaven right there! Although they're practically valueless, they sure are pretty. And the cullet is amazing. It's a nice place to go, for a change!💖
Well said! The one real bad thing is the toxic level of the ground. They dumped all the chemicals along with the glass. I had a rash all over my wrists from having my hands in that water for a 15 minute period doing those few clips. If i wasnt digging the jars to fill.....I wouldnt be doing it at all. I can find blended spiderman marbles here and bumblebees...and cub scouts....wasps..Bengal Tigers..but they are like all 5 dollar marbles at tops now......they used to be worth much more. The market just got hammered and flooded with this stuff. Id go more just to dig them for videos.......but the chemicals are a turn off
Happy new year!! Yea I have to dig the jars like that....to put the marble material in....otherwise it is not worth much. This is why I go to dumps...stockpile the jars.....then fill them with this stuff.
Man that place is so cool. I’d definitely buy a jar of cullet glass or factory errors, if you sold them. Heck I’d love to just buy a large chunk of cullet.
I know right, I keep begging him to sell some he won't for some reason. Would help him fund his hunts and bring him some income. Would also love to see a Rocks Cousteau Logo & SQUIRREL MAN Sweatshirt. Lets keep encouraging him to do it!
I cannot because of covid. My parents are elderly. I cannot even pick up my mail. I go around nobody. Even going in a post office to mail a package puts me at risk.....which in turn....puts my parents at risk.....which if either got covid....they would probably die. I wont take a vaccine that has not been tested for years either. That is a huge mistake. So it looks like I am just making videos for a while.
And I love this stuff......if you love what you do....why sell it? People who sell all the bottles, arrowheads, marbles and stuff like that they dig.....like money.....not the hobby. I do not want to be those people. I want to have all this stuff all displayed in my house....so I can show it in future videos....make videos on it.....make my channel better. I may give some away for free at some point....but I cannot till I can go to a post office and mail the stuff......which isnt happening now
We understand Rocks. You stay safe for your parents sake. They are irreplaceable. You and your family are so much more important right now. We will beat these terrible times! Better days ahead. Happy New Year to you and your family, and all fellow Rocks Fans!!👍🇺🇸🐿
Hey Rocks, I really like all of the videos that you post. They are awesome. This video though is something I actually dreamed about when I was a little kid! Not even kidding... haha... I'm a flintknapper and I bet some of the larger more solid pieces of cullet can make some great arrowheads to go along with your marbles! Let me know what you think! I dont have to tell ya, but keep up with the adventures! 👍🤓🤙🏼
Man, I'd love to hit that marble dump. A few of those blobs would be awesome for bead making!! That would keep me busy for quite a good while!! Awesome videos. Wish I could post photos here, I'm a squirrel 🐿️ mom too!!
I will go dig in other ones this year. I know where all of them are up and down the river. Some are underwater in the river. I may do some scuba diving
Happy new year! Hopefully it is a better year. This covid BS is terrible. I cannot go anywhere. And getting those shots seems like a real bad idea to me. I saw a nurse who got the shot 2 days ago....today and she looked like hell. Was all sweaty and said she felt horrible.
There are even better places than this spot.....it is ust easy to dig them with a sifter here instead of digging into hard ground with a shovel. The only bad thing is toxic chemicals were dumped as well and being int he water is bad. I am going to have to go buy waterproof gloves-pants and boots later today so I can go back more.
Thank you for all of your hard work and posts, loved them all. Be safe, and maybe get a rock polisher for all those glass cast offs. Might turn out beautiful. Happy New years!
Oooo...I was thinking how pretty those half marbles would look in some type of artwork, stained glass is perfect for them. Or a mosaic of broken marbles.
Watch my video tomorrow....you will crap yourself. I found an entire dump of STAINED glass today......millions of pieces....all over the place in some awesome colors.
Excellent video. What a gold mine. Thanks for sharing these awesome discoveries. Not sure how many marbles will be framed but you sure have one heck of a selection to choose from after today’s hunt. Have a Happy New Year. Stay healthy 😷🍻
It seems like it is the best place to dig ever....but it really is not. It is mass produced Marble King 1960's in age. It is cool dont get me wrong.....but I have found single marbles on a town dump that are worth as much as a 50 gallon drum of this stuff. But it looks cool in jars If you have them...and I get those for free in the dump.....so that kind of makes it worth it.
@@rockscousteau I'm sitting on my fat *** . Doing nothing ! Yesterday on the other hand I had my best day digging toys. Over 50 different items in a unburned area at my Honey hole ..... enough for 2 videos dug up in only 2 hrs . It's like they threw away a whole collection in one spot....and I stopped , there's much more to be dug . Un tapped area ! 1960s early 70s on top with at least one clay cap covering at least 1930 - to 50s layer ...I stayed out of that and concentrated on the top layer yesterday. Going back ASAP 🙄
Dude! It broke my heart every time you threw back a flat or broken marble! I make jewelry and art and I could use all that! Dang. Pick them up and send them to me! Happy New year!
Yea I know.....I have so much of this stuff you would crap yourself. I have thousands of pounds of it in buildings and my basement I dug in the 1990's. I really dont even want to be there digging the stuff I have so much of it already......I just thought it would make a good series of videos. I have to be selective on what I take.....I am already a hoarder. LOL---I will get a bunch of the flat pieces next time I go.....it would be quicker to just pick more up out of my sifter...than sift through the trash cans and cut my hands on the glass. I am not sure how much of this stuff I have in weight.....but id say over 10,000 lbs at least
Id go more if the ground wasnt so toxic. The bad part about these places....they dumped dangerous chemicals with the glass. There isnt even a bug....crayfish....minnow.....nothing alive in that water. I got a rash on my arms from sticking my hands in the water for a 15 min period. I had to go by all new waterproof stuff today so I can go back while it is cool.
@@rockscousteau I didn't know that but I guess they would dump everything even toxic chemicals, can you still smell them there like on the dumps sometimes?
I have found 1 arrowhead in the creek I was in in this video....in like 1998. Like a 4 inch Black Stemmed oint that is pretty nice. I found a nutting stone in it about the same time----1998-1999....but it was just an average one. That is about all I have found there. There are old bottles though. I saw several broken soda bottles and a piece of a slat glazed crock....but both were busted. I found a few nice bottles in there diggingin the 1990's.....but no nice ones since
Love seeing all the marbles, cullet, and bottles you find brother. I am fond of insulators and have a few dump sites I find stuff in. Wish they were as nice as your spots. Happy new year and happy hunting
Wow that's amazing where is that you're finding all those marbles they are absolutely amazing I live in New York I don't think I would be able to find anything like that here in New York
There are some Huge Dumps in NY. I heard a place called Dead Horse Bay you can find marbles there and lots of other old bottles and things. Metal Detecting is also really good on NY. Find old colonial areas...and metal detect there
I was thinking that those large chunks of glass could be heated back up and made into other things. Glass pens are real popular. Think of having a new glass item made from antique glass.
Yea.....I think so too...I found an awesome Stained Glass Dump today.....Millions of big pieces of the best looking stained glass pieces you have ever seen. It will be in the next video tomorrow. I am going to pick it all up in the future months and make stain glass windows. The marble factory must have had it to melt down...and dumped millions of pounds of it. It was just INSANE looking.
I agree with the dump digging and do it myself when I have time ...BUT finding all these marbles...and not sure where ur at but I could get 10 to 20 bucks a jar even for common ones. I'D BE DIGGING THERE LIKE THE END OF THE RAINBOW WAS THERE. LOL.
You cannot go to those places a lot.....because of the chemicals. They not only dumped the marbles and glass. They dumped all the toxins. Just taking my gloves off to do 4 or 5 clips in this video and putting them in the water....gave me a horrible rash all over my wrists. That is why i do not go a lot there.....it will give you cancer.
I bought some better waterproof clothing and gloves today......but even with that......you just cannot go all the time and expect to live a long life. It was all dumped pre EPA.....so they just dumped toxic sludge all over the area. Every time it rains.....it turns into a BAD BAD deal. I could even smell chemicals in the water standing in it on this trip from this last snow melt. Some people dig directly into the big dump recently and it all eroded out into the creek and is all caving into the creek.
So amazing! Always look forward to your uploads, I'm hooked. Love your enthusiasm when you find nice cullet or a marble worthy of going in your pocket, even if it's a marble king. Shows that you appreciate the art of it. Keep it up Rock and Happy New year to you.
That place is crazy I found 4 marbles last year you would have to carry me out of their. Even though there is not alot of value that would be a blast .
Yea.....but it is marble king stuff. This is why I dig on dumps...so I can find a handful of marbles......vs a bucket full. I have thousands of ponds of this stuff.
I go to the dumps because some of the other types Of marbles I can find there are worth as much as an entire bucket of this stuff---this is cool in jars.....that is why I dig on the dumps....to find the jars and lids......to display the thousands of pounds of this stuff I have.
@@rockscousteau Hella cool! Do you display most of your collection or do you keep it tucked away? Btw what is the difference between the marbles you find at the dumps and these ones variety wise? Like why not hunt down the factory locations of the periods you are interested in and look around there for a massive haul? I know it cannot be that simple so I am curious on the answer :D
You may not be able to use it for that without heavy cleaning. They did not just dump glass there....they dumped truckloads of cancer causing chemicals. This was pre EPA. There is no life at all in these creeks....no minnows...no crayfish.....no bugs......It is dangerous to do it often without protective covering. Id say the chemicals can leach out of the glass maybe if they were in water and kill the fish
I will have to wear rubber gloves from here on out....and cannot get the water on my skin. I am goingto go buy waterproof gloves today and new waterproof pants and boots
Yea I had 2....I just didnt feel like carrying them all to my truck. They get heavy after walking up and down hills to the truck. Those last few trips I went there last year....I told myself I am not carrying these huge buckets back to the truck again.....it is brutal. This glass is HEAVY. I have to be careful on this place from now on.....they just did not dump glass....they dumped chemicals as well. Toxic....cancer causing chemicals used in the glass making process. There is zero life in this creek....no crayfish....no frogs.....no snakes......not even bugs.....and that is because it is a toxic waste dump as well
Awesome video Rock's. Would you say there are rare one of a kind prototype marbles to be found there? That's marble insanity at it's best!!. Happy New Year and all the best!!
You can call come of the stuff that.....but all of it has already been sold and marketed. I sold millions of these with other people in the 1990's. The value used to be there...but it is not anymore. This is only 1 Marble Kind Dump....I can hike into others and find way more marbles.......I may do that some this year. Marble King even dumped loads of bad runs on some town dumps.....so these things are easy to find. They are everywhere in the Ohio Valley. The older stuff like Alley Agates are harder to find........way harder
Love the marbles adventures.
The mason jars you make are beautiful and the garden accents of chunks.
Thanks so much 😊
I have never seen marbles like this in my life you must and have to be the king of marbles🙏
that is a Marble King Factory dump in West Virginia. They dumped so many of these it is ust crazy is it not. There are so many marbles on that place 1000 people could not dig them all in 100 years...not even close
You've entered the Pearly Gates of Marblehead Heaven! Great job Rocks!😎
Maybe if it was an Alley Agate dump or an Akro Agate dump. This stuff is not as good. But it is if I stay all day and fill half gallon jars I dig. I can at least get some money from the art standpoint

Happy New Year Richard. I will go back and dig more marbles this week there. I am going to try and fill a bunch of jars this month
Very Nice, Love the Marbles and the cullet in that awesome Jar.😱👣🌟
Thank you! Cheers!
Fabulous finds. Payoff for years of hard work. Love your channel!
There's no place in the world I'd rather go than that creek. You're so lucky to have found it. This is one of my favorite videos. Thanks for sharing.
This would be my dream trip! Thanks for taking me along.
Our pleasure!
Love watching these older videos I’m slowly working my way to have watching every video I love marble kings I know I e said it before there my favorites love the colors
Marble Collector’s Heaven!!! You’re right, that will look great in a clear Atlas jar!!
Yea it looks great. It really isnt heaven at all. The ground is toxic. All this was dumped pre EPA....and all the chemicals involved in the glass making process were dumped too. The ground is probably one of the TOP 10 most toxic places in the United States. Maybe even top 5. I had to go buy all kinds of waterproof body coverings today so I am not in contact with the ground. Even breathing the air after raking can cause lung cancer. It is a bad BAD place to be. But makes for some good vids
Wow, had no idea on it being so toxic!! 😱
Ur so lucky to have a place like this to find marbles

Good morning! Happy New years Mike. Hope you have a good year man
What awesome finds. You live in the best area for a rockhound such as yourself. 😃
You got that right!

Perfect video! The ONLY thing I can imagine that would have made it better, was if Squirrel Man was sitting on a rock watching you in that creek. Later!
He would have been freezing......he is a wimp...he is used to his heated room and in his warm box
Well that was a awesome binge watch, we really enjoyed watching, nice finding the caps that match the bottles 👍 they make them complete. And look great
Well done on your marble finds, you have found some fantastic one's and you're very knowledgeable about them, thank you for all your fantastic videos and we wish that 20-21 brings you rare and exquisite finds as you so deserve to find them
Best wishes to you and your family little man and friends, take care as we care 👍👍👍
I will film the stuff better on the next trip. I noticed I was showing stuff with the gopro on my head and it was out of the view. I hwent and got better gloves...so I should have a beetter trip to this place in a video this week. I cleaned like 10 big jars tonight...and I am going to stay next trip till I fill them all with marbles
Happy New Year
What a colorful way to end the year! Happy New Year! Love that cullet glass and marbles. Thanks for taking us along.
Happy new year! I will go back again here in a day or two and dig more. I had to go buy waterproof stuff so I can dig more
Thanks!🥂🍾
I don't care what you sift weather its marbles or artifacts its always awesome !
I am hoping the river goes down....it is really high....I would rather be finding arrowheads. Just have not been able to do that for a few weeks.Id say within a week or so Ill be able to go again...hopefully.....and it will be awesome then. These little floods wash out stuff
I just found your site, and I'm so glad I did. I watch several mudlarking channels from the UK, but I'm a southeast Tennessee girl, and I love finding a channel with finds from my part of the world.
Welcome aboard! I dug all day today. I am going to work on a video now. I will try to keep the videos coming as often as possible
@@rockscousteau I can re-watch your videos time and again and always see or hear something new.
I really like the cullet, some of it more beautiful and interesting than the marbles themselves. It's too bad these places are so toxic, but it would still be like Field Day! xo Teach
I agree with you
👍 Thank you for the hard work💯
No problem 👍
Love it when you go to a marble king dump. That would be a great time. Great video Rocks
Thanks 👍 I would go more if there was not so much toxic material dumped there. They not only dumped the marbles and glass....they dumped all the toxins there too. Just having my hands in that water for 15 mins doing those few clips....gave me a skin rash. I had to go by waterproof everything today. If it wasnt for that I would go a lot more over there.

I came to watch an old video today and I was not disappointed! I would love to dig this factory dump!
Awesome Rocks! I love when you go to the factory dump sites. You found some nice ones. I like that purple one. I've never seen one that color.
Thanks for watching!
@@rockscousteau I watch all of your videos!
What a cool place. Seems like you can find treasures every time to go there. Thanks for sharing this with us.
Yea.....but it is mass produced Marble King 1960's. And the place is toxic with chemicals.....they dumped all that crap along with the glass and marbles. That is why I do not go there a lot.

@@rockscousteau Yes, you need to go the safe route from now on.
What a fun site!!!! The jar turned out beautiful.
Love your videos. Adventures. I'm jealous
Glad you like them! You can find stuff too...ask around. Dumps are fairly easy to find
I m drooling 🤤 I’d Die if I came across a marble dump like that!
It would be much better if it was Alley Agate or another factory.....but this stuff for the most part....is junk. This is why I dig jars on dumps.....so I can at least make it worth something as art. The market has been flooded with this stuff for decades.
Hi Rocks, Man o man what a hot spot! I felt like a kid in a candy store watching this video. Pretty cool pieces you have. The colors! I’d fill the bucket so much, I wouldn’t be able to carry it . Lol. I ‘d need a hand truck to wheel it out of there. Lol lol. The mason jar looked sweet all filled up. Thanks again, later, Joyce. ARROW *🎱. 🇺🇸❤️
Glad you enjoyed--Happy New Years Joyce
Damn! Absolutely incredible!
It is pretty crazy they dumped so many marbles. There are multiple places like this with millions of them. I think more were dumped than wee sold
All that cullet is awesome.
Yea not bad....It is everywhere in the ground there
I too would love to buy some of that cullet. I have what I call a creak edge of water run off from my downspout by my house. I find slag glass in Lake Erie. I fill the runoff with pretty stones and lake slag. The cullet would be a pretty addition. Beautiful finds.
Sounds great! Happy New Year
Good stuff. I'd go crazy at a place like that. One of my favorite things, to begin with, is just searching creek beds for whatever - add in those marbles and glass - I'd wanna stay all day. Smokin'. Thanks, Rocks.
I would go more.....but the bad thing about places like this....are the chemicals in the ground....in the water. Think of all the bad stuff used in the 1950's and 1960's in the glass making process. That was pre EPA.....so there is real bad stuff there. REAL BAD stuff. Id say if you were in contact with that water for long enough you would have 10 different kinds of cancer. I am going to go buy waterproof everything today.....and try and not be in contact with the water next few trips. Just from my hands being in that water...for like an hour...I had a rash on my wrists last night. It is best to go when it is dry.......i should have had on big rubber gloves
@@rockscousteau I hear you. I'm up in an area that wasn't dumped on, but down in the valleys, it gets dicey. Be safe.
Wow this is pretty neat! I've never seen so many chunks of marble glass!
Yea it is everywhere. All the major marble factories were in West Virginia. I know places where there are piles of it 25 feet high in the woods. The only bad thing.....there are toxic chemicals as well dumped....so you have to be careful. I will have to wear gloves next time I go the full trip. and not be in contact with the water at all. The dry land dumps are safer...I may go there. That water is a toxic mix of who knows what on that place.
your the marble king, well done fun.
Thank you kindly---But this stuff is mostly average at best. There is just a bunch of it. I get a few nice marbles per trip....but the majority are just clunkers. But it makes for a nice video......i know it is hard to imagine for people who have not seen a place like this......that they actually exist. Millions of marbles to be found. Millions and Millions just there for the taking
That spot is awesome!
It is ok......it is just Marble king stuff....and not that valuable
i always enjoy it when we go there! its so cool!
I will go to some different places like this this year. I know of several
Wow you said it right when you said it was insane. Great video man!!!🏹
Glad you liked it! There are even other places with more marbles....I will go to them too
Hey Rocks, Have you ever thought about buying a kiln & melting your own scrap glass and melting your own marbles in molds and or slumped cheese glass plates ? You could sell those online.
What a cool place you have to go whenever you want. That is an easy way to fill up those clear Mason Jars to make them a lot nicer and more valuable. I would have a hard time staying out of a place like that. I love it.
Yea.....this stuff is not that good. The Alley Dumps and Akro Dumps are where it is at....this stuff is worthless almost and not even worth selling unless you dig huge nice jars to put the stuff in. With ebay fees and shipping costs....it isnt even worth selling it.
Good Afternoon Again . Noticed that you hit 14 thousand SUBSCRIBERS ! Congratulations my Friend ! You have worked very hard to get there . Years in fact . Thanks for all the awesome videos .
Thank you very much!
I'd love to have a jar of those your so lucky
Looks like heaven to me!
Wow you hit the honey hole! Nice finds
It is a honey hole.....but it is a toxic waste dump. Lots of poisons dumped there too. It was pre EPA when they dumped all this stuff.....so they dumped truck loads full of toxic chemicals as well. I should be wearing gloves every trip and waterproof everything. I had a rash on my wrists just from the little contact I had with the water for a few clips. I am going to have to be careful.
Wow you are so blessed !
That's a cool place to go my kids wanna go looking now
Great adventure for ending up the year. I never knew the history of marbles .Now I understand the thrill of digging them in your dump videos. They are like snowflakes, no two are the same. THANK YOU for a great year of video, you have really kept my interest with your content. May 2021 be a great year for you and God bless.
Glad you like them! Hopefully 2021 is a better year for us all. Thanks for stopping by Sue.
This is such an awesome place! About four years ago my little brother and I came across a bridge built in 1911 and a creek that ran below it. Once we explored we found tons of bottles and marbles. I would upload pictures but I’m not sure how to do that on here. My younger brother and I love your content! Have a happy new year!
Sounds great! Happy New year. You should just film it all when you go and do videos. You can learn how to do all that watching youtube vids. People would watch you exploring creeks
Hey Rocks!
THAT ...is most definitely one of the most awesome vids I've ever watched!! I'm just staring in amazement! I never knew places like that creek full of marbles existed!
Just .....wow! Highly enjoyable!
How do you stop? ......sheer exhaustion? Freezing? 😂
Those are some beautiful pieces of glass! Can't pick a favorite!
Marble King heaven right there! Although they're practically valueless, they sure are pretty. And the cullet is amazing. It's a nice place to go, for a change!💖
Well said! The one real bad thing is the toxic level of the ground. They dumped all the chemicals along with the glass. I had a rash all over my wrists from having my hands in that water for a 15 minute period doing those few clips. If i wasnt digging the jars to fill.....I wouldnt be doing it at all. I can find blended spiderman marbles here and bumblebees...and cub scouts....wasps..Bengal Tigers..but they are like all 5 dollar marbles at tops now......they used to be worth much more. The market just got hammered and flooded with this stuff. Id go more just to dig them for videos.......but the chemicals are a turn off
Happy New Year
That jar is gorgeous!! Great marble finds Rocks!! Happy New Year-Char🎉
Happy new year!! Yea I have to dig the jars like that....to put the marble material in....otherwise it is not worth much. This is why I go to dumps...stockpile the jars.....then fill them with this stuff.
If I saw jars like that at a flea market or something I’d be all over it!!!
Really amazing there rocks
The mason jar filled is gorgeous! Happy New Year!
Thanks Jenni. If you want to run off with me....hit me up. LOL
Marbelous !
Another video later tonight. Round 9---marble digging
Man that place is so cool.
I’d definitely buy a jar of cullet glass or factory errors, if you sold them. Heck I’d love to just buy a large chunk of cullet.
I know right, I keep begging him to sell some he won't for some reason. Would help him fund his hunts and bring him some income. Would also love to see a Rocks Cousteau Logo & SQUIRREL MAN Sweatshirt. Lets keep encouraging him to do it!
I cannot because of covid. My parents are elderly. I cannot even pick up my mail. I go around nobody. Even going in a post office to mail a package puts me at risk.....which in turn....puts my parents at risk.....which if either got covid....they would probably die.
I wont take a vaccine that has not been tested for years either. That is a huge mistake. So it looks like I am just making videos for a while.
And I love this stuff......if you love what you do....why sell it? People who sell all the bottles, arrowheads, marbles and stuff like that they dig.....like money.....not the hobby. I do not want to be those people. I want to have all this stuff all displayed in my house....so I can show it in future videos....make videos on it.....make my channel better. I may give some away for free at some point....but I cannot till I can go to a post office and mail the stuff......which isnt happening now
@@rockscousteau no one can fault you for that. Take care and here’s to a better new year.
We understand Rocks. You stay safe for your parents sake. They are irreplaceable. You and your family are so much more important right now. We will beat these terrible times! Better days ahead. Happy New Year to you and your family, and all fellow Rocks Fans!!👍🇺🇸🐿
Those jars really pop with the cullet glass in them. Later !
For sure....it makes an average jar worth $50.00.
Wow! Sensory overload! Great video Happy New Year!
Happy new year!
Wow, that place is freaking amazing 😮
Happy New year to you and squirrel man.
Happy new year!
Have a blessed happy new year to you and yours. Joyce. ARROW *🎱. 🙏❤️🇺🇸🐿🎊
Same to you!
Hope the new year brings many new and exciting treasure hunts. Stay safe.
Thanks, you too!
so fascinating!!
Hey Rocks, I really like all of the videos that you post. They are awesome. This video though is something I actually dreamed about when I was a little kid! Not even kidding... haha... I'm a flintknapper and I bet some of the larger more solid pieces of cullet can make some great arrowheads to go along with your marbles! Let me know what you think! I dont have to tell ya, but keep up with the adventures! 👍🤓🤙🏼
Glad you like them! Happy New Years Man
Man, I'd love to hit that marble dump. A few of those blobs would be awesome for bead making!! That would keep me busy for quite a good while!!
Awesome videos.
Wish I could post photos here, I'm a squirrel 🐿️ mom too!!
it would be cool to document digging in other marble dumps . good luck.
I will go dig in other ones this year. I know where all of them are up and down the river. Some are underwater in the river. I may do some scuba diving
Beautiful glass you could sell just the glass on eBay for people who make there own beads. Happy New Year!!! See you next year!
Happy new year!
Rocks awesome video as usual. Some of those cullets were sweet. Happy new Year!
Happy new year! Hopefully it is a better year. This covid BS is terrible. I cannot go anywhere. And getting those shots seems like a real bad idea to me. I saw a nurse who got the shot 2 days ago....today and she looked like hell. Was all sweaty and said she felt horrible.
wow I have never seen so many marbles in one place . that spot is amazing Rocks ! great video and Happy New Year 💥👍🏴☠️🗺🤠🎊🎊
Happy new year! Thank You for watching
Rocks - The cullet looks great if you put it in a rock tumbler! A great hunt! Happy New Year!
That’s what I was thinking. Tumbling them cullets.
Thanks, you too!
You aren't kidding about Marbles. Been there with you on another video I believe last year. Happy New Year's. Thank you Rock for the lesson.
There are even better places than this spot.....it is ust easy to dig them with a sifter here instead of digging into hard ground with a shovel. The only bad thing is toxic chemicals were dumped as well and being int he water is bad. I am going to have to go buy waterproof gloves-pants and boots later today so I can go back more.
We’d love to be there digging for treasures 😎👍
happy new year Rocks. May 2021 bring you even more amazing finds.
Thank you for all of your hard work and posts, loved them all. Be safe, and maybe get a rock polisher for all those glass cast offs. Might turn out beautiful. Happy New years!
If I had the time. I have made mosaics out of them by slabbing down the pieces on a slab saw
Kewl video..really enjoyed this one..gl hunting
Happy New Year
Cool
Would love to incorporate that stuff into my stained glass work
Oooo...I was thinking how pretty those half marbles would look in some type of artwork, stained glass is perfect for them. Or a mosaic of broken marbles.
Watch my video tomorrow....you will crap yourself. I found an entire dump of STAINED glass today......millions of pieces....all over the place in some awesome colors.
@@rockscousteau Cant wait! Look forward to all your videos
I found 25 marbles this year it's my first time looking for them
That is awesome man.. You can really find them if you get on a dump of the right age. Pretty soon you will have frames full
Good stuff see ya in 2021
Awsome
Excellent video. What a gold mine. Thanks for sharing these awesome discoveries. Not sure how many marbles will be framed but you sure have one heck of a selection to choose from after today’s hunt. Have a Happy New Year. Stay healthy 😷🍻
It seems like it is the best place to dig ever....but it really is not. It is mass produced Marble King 1960's in age. It is cool dont get me wrong.....but I have found single marbles on a town dump that are worth as much as a 50 gallon drum of this stuff. But it looks cool in jars If you have them...and I get those for free in the dump.....so that kind of makes it worth it.
The one bad thing....is the ground is toxic with chemicals....they dumped all that junk around with the glass. That is why i dont go there a lot.
That place is so awesome 👍😎 good Job and the Best of luck to yah in 2021... Happy New year 🎉
Happy new year! Bad weather again here that quick. Temp Dropped 20 degrees---rained all night...now sleet---I bet it sucks u there too
@@rockscousteau I'm sitting on my fat *** . Doing nothing ! Yesterday on the other hand I had my best day digging toys. Over 50 different items in a unburned area at my Honey hole ..... enough for 2 videos dug up in only 2 hrs . It's like they threw away a whole collection in one spot....and I stopped , there's much more to be dug . Un tapped area ! 1960s early 70s on top with at least one clay cap covering at least 1930 - to 50s layer ...I stayed out of that and concentrated on the top layer yesterday. Going back ASAP 🙄
Dude! It broke my heart every time you threw back a flat or broken marble! I make jewelry and art and I could use all that! Dang. Pick them up and send them to me!
Happy New year!
Yea I know.....I have so much of this stuff you would crap yourself. I have thousands of pounds of it in buildings and my basement I dug in the 1990's. I really dont even want to be there digging the stuff I have so much of it already......I just thought it would make a good series of videos. I have to be selective on what I take.....I am already a hoarder. LOL---I will get a bunch of the flat pieces next time I go.....it would be quicker to just pick more up out of my sifter...than sift through the trash cans and cut my hands on the glass. I am not sure how much of this stuff I have in weight.....but id say over 10,000 lbs at least
@@rockscousteau Great! Keep me in mind! I'll buy your 'junk' ones.
Always a great video when you go to that place , Happy New Year
Id go more if the ground wasnt so toxic. The bad part about these places....they dumped dangerous chemicals with the glass. There isnt even a bug....crayfish....minnow.....nothing alive in that water. I got a rash on my arms from sticking my hands in the water for a 15 min period. I had to go by all new waterproof stuff today so I can go back while it is cool.
@@rockscousteau I didn't know that but I guess they would dump everything even toxic chemicals, can you still smell them there like on the dumps sometimes?
Man what a spot!
That’s awesome you ever find any artifacts sifting in those marble creeks ? That mason is cool with all that in it 🔥
I have found 1 arrowhead in the creek I was in in this video....in like 1998. Like a 4 inch Black Stemmed oint that is pretty nice. I found a nutting stone in it about the same time----1998-1999....but it was just an average one. That is about all I have found there. There are old bottles though. I saw several broken soda bottles and a piece of a slat glazed crock....but both were busted. I found a few nice bottles in there diggingin the 1990's.....but no nice ones since
That’s interesting I have a creek by my house that’s given up paleo all the way to woodland and insulators but slowly 👍
You always do a great job with ur vids!
I appreciate that! HAppy New Year
👌
Happy New Year Dale
@@rockscousteau too you the same..thats one heck of a spot. Love finding marbles but unfortunately I don't find them all that often.
Now you just gotta find that elusive clovis people dump site.
I doubt that happens for anyone
😎👍
Love seeing all the marbles, cullet, and bottles you find brother. I am fond of insulators and have a few dump sites I find stuff in. Wish they were as nice as your spots. Happy new year and happy hunting
Thanks Steve. Happy New Year man
Happy New Year, Rocks! You had a great yr in 2020, now have another in 2021! Later Alligator After while Crocodile!
Happy new year!
Wow that's amazing where is that you're finding all those marbles they are absolutely amazing I live in New York I don't think I would be able to find anything like that here in New York
There are some Huge Dumps in NY. I heard a place called Dead Horse Bay you can find marbles there and lots of other old bottles and things. Metal Detecting is also really good on NY. Find old colonial areas...and metal detect there
@@rockscousteau Thank you
I was thinking that those large chunks of glass could be heated back up and made into other things. Glass pens are real popular. Think of having a new glass item made from antique glass.
Yea.....I think so too...I found an awesome Stained Glass Dump today.....Millions of big pieces of the best looking stained glass pieces you have ever seen. It will be in the next video tomorrow. I am going to pick it all up in the future months and make stain glass windows. The marble factory must have had it to melt down...and dumped millions of pounds of it. It was just INSANE looking.
I agree with the dump digging and do it myself when I have time ...BUT finding all these marbles...and not sure where ur at but I could get 10 to 20 bucks a jar even for common ones. I'D BE DIGGING THERE LIKE THE END OF THE RAINBOW WAS THERE. LOL.
You cannot go to those places a lot.....because of the chemicals. They not only dumped the marbles and glass. They dumped all the toxins. Just taking my gloves off to do 4 or 5 clips in this video and putting them in the water....gave me a horrible rash all over my wrists. That is why i do not go a lot there.....it will give you cancer.
I bought some better waterproof clothing and gloves today......but even with that......you just cannot go all the time and expect to live a long life. It was all dumped pre EPA.....so they just dumped toxic sludge all over the area. Every time it rains.....it turns into a BAD BAD deal. I could even smell chemicals in the water standing in it on this trip from this last snow melt. Some people dig directly into the big dump recently and it all eroded out into the creek and is all caving into the creek.
So amazing! Always look forward to your uploads, I'm hooked. Love your enthusiasm when you find nice cullet or a marble worthy of going in your pocket, even if it's a marble king. Shows that you appreciate the art of it. Keep it up Rock and Happy New year to you.
Thanks so much!
That place is crazy I found 4 marbles last year you would have to carry me out of their. Even though there is not alot of value that would be a blast .
Yea.....but it is marble king stuff. This is why I dig on dumps...so I can find a handful of marbles......vs a bucket full. I have thousands of ponds of this stuff.
I would go back to this place until I had a 55 gal drum full.
Hot damn! I am looking at the starting pictures and I've never seen you find a lot of the marbles that I see there! Interesting videoooo 😲😲
I go to the dumps because some of the other types Of marbles I can find there are worth as much as an entire bucket of this stuff---this is cool in jars.....that is why I dig on the dumps....to find the jars and lids......to display the thousands of pounds of this stuff I have.
@@rockscousteau Hella cool! Do you display most of your collection or do you keep it tucked away? Btw what is the difference between the marbles you find at the dumps and these ones variety wise? Like why not hunt down the factory locations of the periods you are interested in and look around there for a massive haul? I know it cannot be that simple so I am curious on the answer :D
Those colors would look nice in an aquarium.
I wonder if a glass blower could reuse
You may not be able to use it for that without heavy cleaning. They did not just dump glass there....they dumped truckloads of cancer causing chemicals. This was pre EPA. There is no life at all in these creeks....no minnows...no crayfish.....no bugs......It is dangerous to do it often without protective covering. Id say the chemicals can leach out of the glass maybe if they were in water and kill the fish
I will have to wear rubber gloves from here on out....and cannot get the water on my skin. I am goingto go buy waterproof gloves today and new waterproof pants and boots
You need a bigger bucket.🤣
Yea I had 2....I just didnt feel like carrying them all to my truck. They get heavy after walking up and down hills to the truck. Those last few trips I went there last year....I told myself I am not carrying these huge buckets back to the truck again.....it is brutal. This glass is HEAVY. I have to be careful on this place from now on.....they just did not dump glass....they dumped chemicals as well. Toxic....cancer causing chemicals used in the glass making process. There is zero life in this creek....no crayfish....no frogs.....no snakes......not even bugs.....and that is because it is a toxic waste dump as well
Awesome video Rock's. Would you say there are rare one of a kind prototype marbles to be found there? That's marble insanity at it's best!!. Happy New Year and all the best!!
You can call come of the stuff that.....but all of it has already been sold and marketed. I sold millions of these with other people in the 1990's. The value used to be there...but it is not anymore. This is only 1 Marble Kind Dump....I can hike into others and find way more marbles.......I may do that some this year. Marble King even dumped loads of bad runs on some town dumps.....so these things are easy to find. They are everywhere in the Ohio Valley. The older stuff like Alley Agates are harder to find........way harder
