were thrown away in quantity so you're gonna find them and see they're plastic they hold up it's just a classic toy from that age to go with a marble oh yeah i wonder what that was it's a green hand

not sure but look it's got two little holes that's just dirt it's perfect but wonder there's no there's anything to put salt in it or pepper wonder what this is it's real heavy it doesn't feel like there's just some holes in the back is that for incense and that's what i thought incense sticks say and it's a little like buddha guy i think that's what it is but i don't know but that is awesome and that's going in my personal collection i love it spray more bug spray on me this i'm hearing mosquitoes buzzing all around me i'll just get ate up but look at this stinking layer something i don't

is just cool like this this is so awesome what in the heck i [00:04:29] Speaker 2: wasn't expecting that i see that arm right over in here i'll find it i don't know that it i like it like that i'll put a rod on that and paint that and it'll look like a broken ancient figure imagine i'll make a wood base for this and this is awesome this is i'm not putting the arm on it it'll look better like this it looks like you know an ancient greek statue that they recovered from a shipwreck in the mediterranean and then you know on base of them they're fragmented this will look great i love it i love stuff like this well that's not awesome is it and it might be say like bamboo it looks like the hairstyle look at those earrings just be like inca maybe or something like that aztec look at the or maybe even something pacific islander hawaiian native i'm not sure what do you think but this is awesome and just like this even broke and this is why i'll mount this just like this probably mount this like this fill it with resin put dow rods out of the bottom and then insert this into a black like maybe spray paint it like a black lacquer that would look nice look see that's art there's something else just displayed like i will do that now look for my little collection that will look great it looks like something like that that's a cool piece i like it even broke nice glaze i like it see there's the other hand i put one i'll put this up there with it but i think i'm not going to do anything with it with these pieces unless one just fits right on the arm or something or i find i'll repaint this and maybe do something with it make it look like it's bronze it looks bronze that color patina's bronze huh well this is a good acl bottle for the ohio valley you want to look at for this i'll show you one at home they're a green bottle with red and white acl and see wheeling west virginia johnny bull root beer they're beautiful too bad that's broke see there's that bottle hole i dug this one they're beautiful aren't they they're like squat and see they're from wheeling stratford springs corporation wheeling west virginia nice looking root beer bottles aren't they see it's real dry down in here see i'm seeing the coin still it's probably a wheat scent which i only show these to kind of date the trash for the video so you as a viewer can put two and two together and see if you want to find some of the stuff i'm digging like the marbles you'll see with the date now you can see that one clearly 1950 wheat scent very cool i even take stuff like this look at this weird jar well it's dinged but what's that say look that's a cool one something patent what's that best foods best foods at some kind of old food container that's nice looking too bad it's good well this is what i'm looking for there's a marble is it just a white one i think so it's just a white one common well in there yesterday in that same spot i found this little gray odd colored marble and it fluoresced under a black light like a nuclear power plant and guess what this one came out and see it's kind of odd color it glows too i'll show it to you in a in my hand next with a few other marbles that don't fluoresce all right here's a few other marbles i found on this trip to the dump you'll see them later in the video but right here the one in the upper right is the one that glows i'll put it under a black light next well i found this before and i think it's a ceramic besk lamp for a little girl set see that's what it is and there it's best it's a little thing to uh see it's all there i found this same thing before it sets on like a little thing and it's a lamp see i told you see it even has a flower like on it it's japanese besk and it's just a little lamp that these came in little sets it's like for a little dollhouse and that's for a little stand in the dollhouse there's an ink find so many of these i'll take that though people like them yeah look at this little kids it's all destroyed but little toy knife that's so cool well i found them first things right up in there where my bag's hanging it's really humid from this rain so this is easier digging i'm going to come down here and get and start getting into it see what's in here see raking through this much stuff i'm bound to see something see there's a breaking city dust i'll get down in this leaf stuff and we'll see if i can't get a few more things look at these big blue jars coming out of here just so many of them that's massive i'll have to try to carry some of them out yeah here's another merble it looks like a yellow and white swirl but it looks like it has manufacturing errors that would have been nice i bet you that yellow will fluoresce orange some kind of swirl i'm just showing you these broken ones see this ones losing when i was cleaning it off a piece chipped off there but look at that swirl it's got that egg white base with the egg yolk like swirl that would have been nice look how beautiful that would have been i'd like to add it but i'll find more of them yeah there's another marble no good ones yet that's just a common blue one that's nice but not what i'm well what i'm looking for but i want nice them well this place is nuts i just i was right over there punched here i mean i'm it's just loaded look here what popped out there's some kind of figure it's nothing it's got some metal to the base but it's one of the ones with the holes in the hands it's ruined uh look that has like a wick in it and that's got a slight weird tint to it too i wonder if that's some kind of a little oil lamp thing i don't know or an air freshener i don't know well this rust layer ain't burn up you know what that is that's a good car probably oh it's almost all there one little piece look at that convertible it's real hard plastic that's so cool i might find a hole well you saw the toys that have come out of this new hole here already here's a marble but it just looks white i don't think there's any color on it but some of them were in the bags too there's got to be real nice ones in here i'm gonna stay till i get on them yeah see even this white one see it's got another swirl to it it's not picking it up in the camera as good as i can see it with eye but that's nice condition it's odd it does not glow yeah see here's another big this is probably pretty old an aqua marble but it's all dinged up no good punched in there you saw i found a few marbles nothing spectacular it's getting undercut and i'm sick of sweat start raking i'm gonna i feel this is worth digging here's another one of these this has the ball mark on the bottom and it's yeah i don't know what whiskey it is crown something but i'll take that now look at this hopefully this ain't broke see it right there's a big more off folks see oh my gosh i'm gonna have to open this up this is a big vitro shooter and it's a month maker oh my goodness oh my look at this it has a z on it you know that's arguably a 75 shooter it's mint condition look at the color folks that's my you know the figurine it's been an hour and a half since that i've been looking around there's there's what i'm looking for right there yeah sorry about the glare of the sun's out now still kind of sprinkling but look at that whoa that's so nice folks that's just makes my day see you in the frame at the end and like i do see if there's anything here worth digging i saw them toys and this is a good little area see i gotta do all this stuff now and you know it's payday from youtube today and i gotta go get cat food and litter and do all kinds of work at my house get me food so i'm not gonna stay too much longer but look here see right in the age of that marble there's a mint condition sistersville west virginia art deco soda these are nice bottles but i've carried 25 out mint condition in the last four days so not a rare bottle worth a few bucks well fix this isn't you just saw this i just started this hole it's not where i've been digging but look another marble probably a vetro what is this oh it's got a lot oh this thing come on it [00:14:53] Speaker 3: this is another really nice it's like a conquer with oh it's got a chip but i'll still show it that's [00:15:02] Speaker 2: nice it doesn't matter if i can find one more the shooter made my day see it's the same all clear base that nice lavender patch but it's got that chip this is a vetro bag like a conqueror too bad on that but i find some awesome ones yeah there's a button with something on it it looks like a mushroom i don't know what it is we'll see yeah wasn't a mushroom what the heck look at that it's a figural button and it looks like there's an old rifle on his shoulder wonder if that's military that's very cool huh when do you see buttons like that i'll clean it up more and it'll get in a fonds case yeah see there's older stuff here too that's a shame that could have had a drugstore on it that's an old cork top bottle see too bad on that i'll probably take it well here's another little play set thing that's kind of cool wonder wonder what that's for you know you see what this is disc brakes there batteries tools it's for a little service station with cars i bet your marks or something i'm soaking it in there that's a cool accessory well i found a silver one of these i don't think this one's silver but see there's a thimble i don't think this is good metal yeah it's just like brass but that's nice you know cool to find stuff like this i found a silver one that was so nice see there's the silver one i found i dug this on video you know them brass ones are cool but look at that sterling it's marked up in there and it's got the the hallmarks and stuff up in top there but be on the lookout for stuff like that finding a silver thimble that's got to be lucky that's beautiful a little over two hours i just dig like a wild man i got all these holes opened up now i just run up through here the shooter marvel
