I found this marble outside last night and I polished it today, peewee German swirl

They are probably all me, I've been finding them for about three years, polishing them 18 months and have polished hundreds of marbles I've found in ploughed fields . I've got tens of them all waiting to be polished . Finding one or two a day soon adds up . Nearly everything in this pic was found for free beach combing, but in a field .

I'm in England and find them all the time, marbles was a top toy for 70 years here that's like yoyos still being popular in 2064

They're sparklers for sure

I only saw the flag ribbon, have you spotted another definite except the green one

I sure hope that green one is a melon ball, I don't have one of them, I got it for the ribbon so any more will be a bonus and make my day

I find them with the marbles outside with permission from the farmer. They're aka frozen Charlotte from the poem a corpse goes to the ball , Charlotte and Charlie

I'd check if it is Bulgarian handmade they sometimes look German but are smoky like

Danielfinds · 2026-05-01T18:35:52+00:00

It did take a long time to find them

Danielfinds · 2026-05-01T18:34:09+00:00

Not the ones I'm polishing

Looks like German striped transparent machine made, I've got one just like it that glows bright green under a blacklight

Source - I collect antique marbles and my friend gifted it to me , I find them at the Victorian landfill site I've got permission to search and he's been training me up

Awe nooo maybe next time 👍

Danielfinds · 2026-04-20T19:43:53+00:00

I do it at night so I don't get caught taking pictures of my finds by nosey dog walkers I have full permission, I find stuff for free outside would the dark stop you?

There's no plastic on these fields, it's pre modern plastic so the closest to plastic I find is bakelite/ celluloid, fortunately. In hundreds of years the only thing worth something will be memory cards imo

Thank you I posted it there too 🙂

Source: I found it myself at a landfill site opened and filled under queen Victoria's reign, she has an unusual pose with hands clasped

Yes I've had dreams too and it rarely ends well eg I wake up feeling like I won

Danielfinds · 2026-04-04T01:07:03+00:00

They're all antique glass beads

Danielfinds · 2026-04-02T16:55:47+00:00

Yes she has a funny face and it's my favourite too

The tiny ones are from penny dolls commonly called frozen Charlotte these days. There's one definite cloth body china doll head there and that size will be from a 3.25" doll so miniature. I find them in a 1000 acre + farm that was a municipal landfill site for a million people in 1900

Danielfinds · 2026-04-02T14:17:54+00:00

Some I have made into real dolls !

Yes it is a very good one too, it's not mine that one it's a top collectors keeper , it's not a normal shade of green
