Anner,
That place sounds like a treasure hunter's dream. Some of those old
marbles can have some value. Ever find any old coins? When I was a kid,
my grandmother lived in an old, dying mining town in east Kentucky. There
were a lot of old, abandoned houses, most of which, only the foundations
remained. You wouldn't believe all the Mercury Dimes, War Nickels, Silver
Quarters, etc. I found.
This was after I discovered a bunch of World War II Era French Coins
in our vegetable garden when we lived in Ohio in the late 1960's. I have
still wondered how they got there.
Then a couple years later when the Hunt Brothers cornered the Silver
market...
