Back in NY: I found an Indian pendant stone. My house was on a well known portage route between Lake Erie and Lake Ontario along the Niagara gorge. Clay marbles, too, and a small leg from a porcelain doll. And a complete brick pathway which ran from the house through the backyard for 90' or so... Here in Indiana: Medicine bottles. Apparently a doctor had a house/office nearby and he used what is now the horse pasture and our backyard as a dumping ground. My draft horse generally destroys the bottles that pop up in the pasture but not always -- sometimes I get one out intact. |

Some old bottles have good value. |

Some old bottles have good value. My horse recently demolished a medicine bottle of lovely lavender colored, clear glass. I suspect that one might have had some value. |

wrote: Somewhat off topic I know, still???? Marbles, lots of them, antiques. The house I bought was in one family for 40+ years. They raised four boys here. When I began renovating the house I found tons of marbles in the walls and began collecting them. Then when I started my garden, more marbles. For years I would find them whereever I dug. I think that I must have found most of them by now as I don't run into them very often anymore. Based on eBay prices I expect that I have 1 $1,000+ in marbles now. John |
