Rocks Cousteau 2022
When I was a kid in the sixties we played marbles every day. I had three stashes of marbles. First was my playing stash. Second was my trading stash. Third was my showing off stash. One of these was called a mooney which was a creamy white shooter size and when sunlight shown through it would project an opalescent crescent moon on your hand. Thanks for the video it brought back some memories for sure.
That's really cool!
This is why I’m addicted to marbles
i know this is kind of awkward, but do you have any more stories about marbles? Lol I find it really interesting.
Brings back lots of memories seeing the old dump sites. When we were kids we traded marbles for almost anything and I had the greatest secret way to have unique marbles in colours only I could supply. A friend of mine had a sphere grinding machine for making rocks into spheres for his dads jewelry business. I found a huge dump site that had tons of broken uranium glass, millefiori glass and telephone pole wire insulators from 1900 or so guessing from the other bottles I found. I would supply him with broken glass pieces and we split the marbles we made. We felt like bandits trading broken glass made into marbles for anything we could get. In the 70s everyone had black UV lights for felt posters so we played marbles in the dark with glow in the dark marbles. You could easily make some really neat marbles from the scrap glass you collected. And because it was actually used to make marbles you would end up with perfectly round marbles in colours that actually existed long ago.
Wow what an awesome way to have made use of the things you had around you
Location, location, location… you are so blessed to live where you live.
What a fun hobby!
You want to Arrowhead Hunt first. Believe me....it is way better than this. But this is cool.
If you live by a river or a large stream. Get out on it and start looking. You will even find some marbles from time to time.
LOL!! you've combined two of my favorite things---slopping along through a creek bed and finding brightly colored shiny objects! Love your doggie too, she's a sweetheart.
That’s one of the most unique pieces of marble cullet I’ve seen. It’s hard to believe they just dumped all of that.
Hello Mr Rocks, I dream of having access to a place like that. Fabulous Finds 🙋😊🐿️🤗
Had to pick my jaw up off the floor ! What an awesome sight to see ! 👀
You sir are in " Marble Heaven " ! So amazing to share your experience walking through that creek. That error find is so awesome too. Great video Rocks & much continued success.
Wow! I'd love to go there! That cullet is awesome! Those marbles you picked out were exceptional especially the error one and the patch one. Beautiful! I'd be in marble heaven! Dog Bubble looks so good! 💖💯
heck of a half hour!!!
Awesome 👌...I could walk that all day long !!!
Nice scores! That would be so much fun! I would be sitting there for hours🤣
That's a hell of a place
As always enjoyed watching thanks for sharing 👍
Wow I wish I had a creek like that!
I would so love to have access to a marble dump, Rocks! So much beautiful glass! Sadie looks very pretty with her hair cut!💖
Awesome video Rocks. Sadie looks great. Later, Joyce ❤️🇺🇸🙏
What a fun day. Just to be able to walk a creek and pick up marbles at random. Doggy's lookin' good. Cooler for the summer.
Wow! Awesome creek finds! Lucky.
Love that cullet……❤️❤️
That area is awesome.... Your a lucky man to be able to get to places like that. Because of you I got into marbles... Thank you 😁😁😁👍👍👍👍
Wow , that is simply amazing. Beautiful glass. Wish I had access to a place like that . Thanks for sharing !
Well done on the finds enjoyed
That place is amazing! I would love finding all those colors!!
Love them cullet glass in them Mason jar.
Man, I'd like to have some of that beautiful glass to put in my flower beds!
Im so jealous you get to go hunt marbles like that lol
I’ve never seen such a cool thing 👍🏻
OMG I am jealous. SCORE!
great video as always, if i ever found a place like that i would be there all day. whats nice is no digging involved. i finaly tapped my dump out so i have to find another one, in 12 digs i ended up with 80 keeper marbles and some good bottles among other things....cant wait for your next video
Wow I'm jealous ,very
You can only go do this 1 or 2 times per year.
There is no life at all in that creek. You dont even hear birds.....see a worm....nothing. It is toxic.
so dont be jealous. It is a place of death....a place if you get in the water....you would get cancer or have health problems down the line. That is NO GOOD. They honestly need to clean the place up with a Federal Grant
Man I love all the cullet pieces, I hope to win some of those one day.More videos like this please.🤙🏻👊🏻💪🏻
Hard to choose a favorite! Excellent adventure!
Nice creek hunt cool finds
Nice bucket of marble glass and marbles for a half hour I would like to do that one of these days there's no where around where I'm at to find marbles like that and I don't have a vehicle to travel I'm on foot but I've found some nice marbles in the creek keep the good work up I hope to see more
Love this creek
I find alot of marbles at an old mining camp,I think alot of people used them for hunting with sling shots!
My dad n his brother lived near an abandoned marble factory out in Illinois , they found so many marbles there .
WOW! Have to get me some of that. Thanks for sharing.
I've always had an interest in errors/misprints when collecting. To me it's a neat look into the production and factory process that you don't normally get to see.
Also, dang!! Talk about a jackpot location!!
Me too. That was a lucky find for laying out
Very cool spot Rocks!
That color is beautiful man it's amazing how you find all those marbles and stuff I wish I was in your part of the country
I had no idea this place existed. My family would have a blast exploring that creek for a day
Dude I wish I had a place like this near me. I would go every day.
Rocks journey through marbles creek bed....good way to kill time waiting on puppy!
you are a wonderful person
This stuff is just as beautiful as the marbles to me. Thanks for showing
good stuff Rocks..people in the lapidary trade would probably love some of those globs. They are very cool!😎
Very cool.
That error glass is some of the nicest I have seen! Especially with those swirls!!!
Wow! Man awesome finds. That place was loaded
I get as excited as you do, RC, while you are making finds! Boy, I wish I could be there too, but a bit far from Australia 😩
That's awesome for a 30 minute hunt. I love the blue marble the most.
Those pieces of cullet are amazing, esp that beige and blue one. Killer
Man, that is so cool, love it
What an incredible place to hunt! Sadie looks great!
awesome...!!!
I found simular items like your finding no marbles but cullets all kinds never came across anything like it before. was so much fun picking out of gravel.
Wow!! That's amazing!! Thank you for showing us, that was super fun watching! Sadie looks great with her new trim.😎🤘😊😘🐺
I'd pay good money for some of that cullet. I love that stuff!
Love it when you go to those marble king dumps. Really nice cutlets
W0W, I always hoped you would get back there and do another video. A quart jar of the slag would look good on my shelf.
Awesome
That is some cool stuff you found. It's nice to go to different places too. Thanks so much for the variety.
Glad you enjoyed
Just imagine when they were making all this!
I honestly never really appreciated marbles until I watched this video! This video just amazed me! Makes me want to start a collection. Thanks for the inspiration.
Wow.that old factory dump is wondetful.so beautiful marble glass.. you need to go back there. Look more...👌
If I had stumbled upon a place like that when I was a kid, you'd have to pry me out of there. That brownish w/ blue & other colors was really neat, I'd like to see a marble made out of it. You could make a lamp out of cullet, like the marble lamp you got at the antique store. Dog buddy looks all fresh & spiffed up. Enjoy your day ! :~)
Good stuff Rocks! That 1” shooter error, what can ya say…Another Coolbeans video RC👍
That's some cool stuff right there. That Cub scout error is really nice. I can imagine what's still under the surface. Wow!!
Thanks for sharing your finds my friend look forward to seeing your videos 😁 Doug
I love colored glass anyway and those marble errors and those marbles stuck together beautiful stuff
A great friend of mine who has passed used to make me some really nice homemade arrowheads out of colored glass.
I am always thrilled to see all this that has been thrown away. So glad you go and collect it. Beautiful pieces.
Ohh wow!! too cool those would make a beautiful flowerbed. Big thank you for sharing. and little boy looks adorable.
I’m so glad to see you back there. I love the cullette. Thanks Rocks.😎
There is a creek behind my house and there is tons of glass.there were several glass factories along the creek
Place does not ever disappoint.. the cub error is my favorite
I never tire of this clip..
Over the top . I've seen you hunt the creek several times over the years and it never gets old...that place is Amazing ✌️😎 I've did a little bit of hunting in my time. I've never seen anything like that . So so cool !!!
I would love to find a bucketful for my rock garden. Who am I kidding; 5 buckets, lol thank you for an incredible walk along with you.
Our pleasure!
That is absolutely crazy!! You found some beautiful absolutely amazing stuff!! Thank you for sharing it with us!! Sadie looks beautiful!! God bless!!
Just started watching your videos, great content. Adventures around every turn, thanks for sharing. My Dad used to watch them make glass products all the time when he was a kid in Wellsburg WV
Unlimited arrowhead material right there.
Marble Valhala!!
isnt that the truth. I will go there this week while it is raining and dig....sift the dirt....and go for an entire frame of marbles in 1 day
@@rockscousteau can't wait to see that share!! May the Marble gods be with you😁
Cool stuff!
Oh my goodness
I can see a potential way to get my husband start making marbles again
That's nuts
It would be cool to line the bottom of an aquarium with those cullets. Thanks RC.
This is just too COOL! LOVE IT!❤
I need to take another trip to Doug's and buy some of that cullet.
Bro...no joke that was a haul! That cullet is so cool, and the big Cub Scout error....month maker for sure! It’s just incredible that you have so many top shelf places to hunt all this stuff. If that big chunk of cullet does fluoresce, it would look so killer. Great finds and Dog Bubbie, she’s looking good too!
Rock on 🤘
Thank you, That was amazing one of my favorite marble vids ever!
Mornin Brother , not much to say about this video . Everyone beat me to it ! Wow , Wow , Wow ! Only in my dreams . I love glass of any kind . Thanks for taking us to the "Gold Mine " . Later ,,,,,,,
Hi Rocks, I have been watching your videos for a while. Always checking for your newest post. On a past video you mentioned a website to identify marbles. I am unable to find a link for the site. If you don't mind, I would like to get the site you were referring to. We live in West Virginia and enjoy seeing the different things you find.
Thanks
Billie Burris
The error and marble glass is very cool. Dog Bubbie express is looking fresh!
Really cool cullet! That's something I don't have any of. It's great that you know where to go for it!! Baby girl looked quite nice!
So glad you went back there it’s been along time since you were there. Love the cullet.
Omg I would love to have some of that cullet. 😍 all that slag glass would be a dream come true.
wow!! can we expect a Rocks marble after all that cullet?!! AWESOMe stuff!! dog Bubie express looks beautiful L8A!
Love ❤️ that cullet glass!
