[QUOTE="Stoney, post: 79702, member: 2845"] On the weekend I took a mate out to a site I'd been detecting. While detecting I noticed a marble sitting on top of a recently dug hole. The rain the night before must have washed the dirt from it and made it visible. Its the second marble I've found at this site, the first one was cool but nothing special. My mate had a giggle at my excitement over a marble, but after my research I conducted on my first marble I knew some were actually valuable, and I noticed what could be what the marble guys call a "pontil" mark, meaning handmade. Thanks to a helpful guy on a marble forum, it turns out to be a Codd marble.

I love this hobby :) [/QUOTE]
