Rocks Cousteau 2022
Thank you for unbelievably cool entertainment and kindness towards animals! I learned a lot! Have a great day!
Man....I dont even know what to say.....THANK YOU.
This helps out a ton.
post me your address here and I will send you something from this video.
@@rockscousteau You are very welcome, good Sir. I'd like you to put it towards your wonderful channel. So many folks get so much enjoyment from these videos! You do good in a hard world and I admire and encourage that! Take care!
Thank You so much. I will thank you in a video.
Love these. Marble dump videos.....
More to come! But it may be a few months. I have to limit my exposure to that place. It is TOXIC. The epa will make the town it is located in a Super Site within 20 years. Being exposed to the chemicals there....over and over....would not be good. So I will wait like a month....maybe go back again then....do another video for a few hours.
You know...it would be fun to go there more often. But it is just not worth it due to the circumstances.
The ground water in the town is undrinkable. Lots of people are getting rare cancers....kids with birth defects....and I know for a FACT it is all related to these dumps.
I love when you visit that creek, so much excitement in your voice. Happy Fathers Day Rocks.
Adds at the start , middle , and end . 4 min 15 sec . of adds . Folks - let em play . mute them if you must but let em play . Rocks goes through a lot of effort to take us along on these adventures and the least we can do is let the adds play so he can make enough from the videos to keep sharing with us. Rocks - thanks for all you do brother . God bless 😎👍
Oh you can skip them. It really doesnt matter. I make enough to pay my bills now every month with ease. It is still crappy money....but it is far better than it was. I am ok man. Thanks
Squirrel Man was particularly cute in this one! Thx for a great video!
Thank you. He is doing so much better. I got clips of him outside yesterday for the next video
Mornin Brother ! It's a place I would keep to myself ! I go through so many emotions watching your video . Truth be told , I am jealous as all get out . Ha Ha Ha !! My Lord , video so nice I watched it twice . I remember the videos of this place from two years ago . Hey Buddy , Mission co. Sells great products to keep you cool in the heat . They really work . Thanks again ,,,,, Later ,,,,
Makes me smile every time!!
Really enjoying your videos Awesome!
Ole Squirrel Man, he's something else!! Lol
hahaah....he is the best. You can find licensed squirrel sellers online and buy one. I may try and get another one soon. He is the best pet I have ever had
What I wouldn't give to be able to go there. That would be a great time. Great video Rocks
I would go a lot more. I live real close to this place. You just cannot. Maybe a few times a year. The place is toxic. The town the dump is in....the water table is contaminated. It is on an EPA super Site list. If I went to this place everyday for maybe 6 months....I would develop a bad health issue If I was not careful. That is why i rarely go there. This will be it for a while...a good while
My gosh! Those were some great marbles! Real beauties and unique too! I just love that Squirrel Man! Awesome video!
You and me both!
Never saw this 📹 popped up this morning 😂❤
Great video!! Oh! What fun you are having! Great marbles! You go Rocks!
Wow!! Scorcher finds on a scorching day! You sure earned all of them ! Thanks for sharing. Take extra care in this hot humid weather. Hugs to Squirrelman.
At least being down in that damp creek and it being shady I was able to stand the heat. it was at least 10 degrees down in there cooler it seemed for a while. it got pretty warm though...so I just left. Id say I was only there about 2 hours. That was a good bit of stuff for all the longer I was there.
I have went to this place on and off since the 1980's. And thousands of people have gone there other than me...and marbles are still just everywhere.
One of my favorite places that you dig Mr.Rocks …. Those are killers
yea not to bad for free.
This is literally marble Kings trash and your treasure! Cool Deal!
Yea....marble king sure dumped a lot of marbles. 100% they dumped more of them than they sold. You cannot even comprehend how many marbles are in the ground around me filming this video. This is ust where a stream is cutting through where they were dumped. Some places up in by the road....there are layers of marbles FEET thick like 8 feet in the ground. Hundreds of millions of pre 1970 marble kings
@@rockscousteau You must have always had an eye for treasure. I know I have. Some people thinking im crazy for what I do. Finding places is my problem. Great job and keep up the good work!
That Cub scout is so pretty
Yes....those are super nice marbles. You can find nice ones on ebay that are affordable. You can get a killer one for like 9.99 if you look around.
Awesome just awesome!!!🏹
Hey Rocks! I can’t tell you how much joy your videos bring me, especially after a rough day of hard work. Thank you so much for having Squirrel Man on today. He was certainly loving that kiwi. He is so awesome! Epic marble haul 👊🏻
I ust brought old squirrel man in from the yard. He went out to play and eat strawberries..LOL...I got lots of clips of him for the next video
Thanks for the visit. Much appreciated
Awesome finds! That orange marble was sweet, it looks like a planet.
It does! Some of these marbles were odd. Those marble errors with those big pieces of flux in them were pretty dang odd too. Some of this stuff is odd this trip
I loved those cub scout marble ones stuck together. Maybe you could be drinking more water 💦 that seemed like a lot of marbles you found. Rock on! 😁🙋🐿️🤗
I drink at least a liter of water an hour when it is like this.
@@rockscousteau 👍😃
Some of that collet glass was beautiful ! A flower bed full of that would be cool ! Say hey to squirrel man for me.
It seems to crack up some if you leave it directly out in the weather. I think the heat from the sun cracks it on a hot day.....then those cracks bust part when it freezes.
I never get tired of watching you pull marbles, bottles, arrowheads, even figurines out of the ground!
Great Finds! Makes for another awesome video, produced by you & Squirrel Man! 👍👊
That place is loaded! Some of that cullet glass is stunning 😍
Yea....but the thing is this.It is not good to go to this place often.....there are lots of toxins there. I will go back 100%. But I am going to wait a month or so I am not overexposed to anything bad in the ground.
The groundwater in this town....is all contaminated. The EPA will most likely make the town of Paden City a super site within 20 years.
Looks like you found many one-of-kind marbles. Very nice.
Thanks 👍 They are not bad.
Another smoker those marbles are rare. Yea the heat is bad right now, hopefully it will get cooler lol. I can't get now because of it. Thanks buddy. Nice honey hole you got.
Yea....it is not good across the US. There are like 75 wildfires over 100 acres in size across the US.
That is scary.
Man what a fun Creek. I love all those errors and that cullet.
I have a lot in your box Horace....right from these videos...pieces you will be able to recognize from the video easily.
@@rockscousteau there's no way to thank you properly. Just know they went to somebody that loves that stuff the way you do. Thanks again brother
I'm jealous, looks like a lot of fun.
i will be honest .....I have had enough of that for a while. That is the worst place i go in terms of just being miserable the entire time. It is fun in the late fall when it is cool and after the bugs are dead. It was just to hot down in there. I felt pretty bad all evening...LOL.
Those purple and blue shaded Marble Kings are neat...probably latter 1970s...Squirrel Man was active today!
It cant be latter 70's. They stopped dumping marbles in the 1960's
This video reminds me of a beautiful dream. What a spot!! I've found a good amount of marbles over the years but nothing like this quantity, amazing! Thanks for the video
Loved all the marbles. Misfits can be beautiful too 🙂
Hello Squirrel 🐿 Man !
🖐
Loved that hunt. Please do that again
I will. But I have to take time off and not go back for a little while now. That place is super toxic. The town the dump is in...is on an EPA super site list. The ground water is all contaminated. There was other stuff dumped there other than glass....by who I dont know. There are some bad chemicals in the ground.....that is why I only do this so often. I want to limit my exposure
@@rockscousteau I didn’t realize that. On second thought….. don’t go there anymore.
That is one cool place!! Squirrel man looks great. Take care.
Very very nice looking finds
Great hunt Rocks, got some awesome marbles. Wow 👌
Thanks 👍 Thanks for stopping terrence. I found a few more in the dump yesterday
Truly a great marbles day, Thanks Rock
Glad you enjoyed it
So the provenance is where these marbles were harvested. No mistakes.
Very cool video! Those marbles are beautiful. Squirrel man is looking good!
Thanks 👍 I hope you are doing ok Brian. It should cool off here in a day or so. I will go back out and sift some more then
thanks for the visit and comment
@@rockscousteau I’m hanging in there.
Fun! Great finds!✨✨✨
INSANE, How Absolutely Fantastic was this site your the Man Rocks 💪💪there is no one that finds sites like you find sites and your videos are Unbelievably Incredible
Wow, thanks!
My wife is thankful that I don't live by a creek that's loaded with marbles!! Keep on my friend.
The only bad thing about that place....its all the same stuff. After a week or two of digging....you have all you want.
You need to find a town dump. The marbles are SOOOOOO much better. And all ages...and types.
A town/community dumping ground where lots of familes threw away trash....from 1920-1960.
There will be dumps like that where you live. They are LOADED with marbles
Thank you so much for sharing ❤️ marbles 😊
Nice finds some cool colors
That was a really nice spot I hope you go back there again.
I just dont go much because it is a toxic area. The town it is in will be an EPA superfund site within a decade. The groundwater is really contaminated over the entire town. I dont like going there much. If it is a place you could never live.
I love your marble dump spot. I’d be in there all the time!🤙🏻👊🏻💪🏻
Well I would go all the time if I could. I live so close to it. The thing is the creek is toxic. You have to be careful. Not get wet.....like fall is the best. I dont even like to sweat in a place like that. I just go maybe 2 or 3 times a year for a few hours and try and stay dry and keep out of the water.
The town this dump is in....is in turmoil with its water table. Places like this in the town have contaminated it. Not only a marble factory dumped here....factories dumped chemicals illegally. Back prior to the EPA. Now the town is paying the price. Bad water....rare cancers....birth defects....all that. Right around this place.
Great video.Lots of action with squirrel man bring up the rear.Sweet👍
I got lots of clips of him playing outside yesterday. In the next video i will incude them
It would be cool to see some points made from some of that cullet glass. Good video again Rocks. The last one on a Marble king dump site brought up some awesome stuff also.
Yea....I will do some knapping. I would have up to this point already.......but it wont help my channel much. Not like digging on a dump and getting all the keywords like PEPSI---COKE-----Royal Crown------ You have to many more options with that. After I get to the point I am making like 2,500.00 a month easily. I will start doing things I want....like knapping.
@@rockscousteau I can understand brother. Happy digging Rocks.
Gnarly finds ! Great video !
Glad you enjoyed-I went to the river earlier and found some arrowheads. I will do another video like that next. I have some dump clips and a few more marble finds as well.
Hey Rocks, very cool video and finds. Later, Joyce❤️🇺🇸🙏
You did really well in that creek. Got some really cool marbles and cullet, several of them are one of a kind, so cool! I’d love to get in there and get some of that stuff for myself. Stay hydrated, it’s freaking hot out there! Enjoyed watching!
Thanks 👍
Amazing video!! At least now you can stay somewhat cool looking for those beautiful vintage marbles! Thanks for showing us the creek, looks refreshing. 💥👍😎😘🐿
Yea....That is 100% a place to go in late fall. I honestly should not even have went down in there. I dont like to be sweating and wet in places with toxins. The dmp I have to wear long sleeves to I dont get the dirt on my skin....and you cannot sit down after you sweat. The toxins will seep into your clothes....then skin. In the fall you just dont sweat.....it makes it much more comfortable. By the time I walked down in there and got to whre I was going to sift...I was soaked with sweat
Rock on 🤘
This at the creek video brings back my memories of my childhood running the creek that ran by the Marble King factory in St. Marys. That creek used to run with a lot of oil spill that the Quaker State refinery used to dump into that creek. My brother and I used to pinch a few of those cullets and take home, but Grandma made us take them back. .
🙋Hello from south Ga. Thanks for taking us on that awesome trip through the creek. I would so love to hunt there. I don't know where a marble factor would have been around here. Very nice finds. I would just have to camp out🥰 Stay safe and God bless
You can go there. Most o fthat is on railroad land. People have gone to that place for 40 years. There are millions of marbles. It is TOXIC ground though. The place/town has some serious drinking water issues. There are toxins dumped in around those marbles. That is why I do not go to that place much. I limit my exposure to places like that.
Man I love when you go there ... I know you have been many times but I can't get enough of that place
I would go more if it was not so toxic. makes a good video and an easy video with that much stuff.
There are chemicals dumped there and it is a damp environment. Not the best place to be. That is why it is only so often.
@@rockscousteau don't push it brother man
Way cool
I would be overwhelmed by all the beautiful colors!! Squirrel man looks great,getting stronger every day!❤
They are! He will be in the next video. I took him outside to play yesterday. He went nuts on video...LOL
Killer creek, 4 sure 👍
I will go back. But I am taking a while off. That was pretty brutal. It is a place to go in the fall. You can even sift marbles in the river in place where they are dumped over the bank into the river. I know beaches I can go to and sift marbles like I do arrowheads. But it is pointless because places like this creek have the same marbles and 1000 times more. If people outside of this area......really knew how many marble king marbles were dumped.........they would be worthless. There are more vintage marble king marbles dumped in the ground....than were ever marketed to the public. FAR MORE.
@@rockscousteau My goodness !! Still fun to watch !! My Son found his first whole arrowhead today 👍 !! I was more excited than he was..lol
The squirrel meister is using those back legs more and more, the rehab is working great 👍, good job sir, loved the video.
Thanks 👍 What really helped him the most I think was I started feeding him Carnation Instant Breakfast from a dropper mixed with milk. And the vitamins really made him stronger....and filled out his muscles. He is even jumping now. He is doing good
@@rockscousteau I'm new here. What happened to your squirrel?
Man oh man!! My wife would love to go there. She is marble fanatic.
Boy some beautiful marbles. That army man was in good shape. To bad that little car was melted. Coons are cute. Hope squirrel man is ok. Keep digging
Those were some of the most unusual marbles I've ever seen, Rocks. I know the digging was tough in the heat, but those beauties were worth it! Squirrel Buddy has a new favorite treat!💖
hahaha...old squirrel buddy just got in from playing in the yard. He ws out there for a half hour going wild today....now he is asleep...LOL
Lol save the rest for us on give aways. I want to come 😩 dig that...
Anyone can go dig marbles in those town in many places.....the thing is I live close to that place. I cant go all the time....the ground is toxic. The town the dump is in ..... is on an EPA list. This creek.....is not a good place to be for that long or extended periods of time.
Wow such great marbles looks like such fun I wish I had something like that dump sight here where I live.. Unfortunately I have to pay an arm and a leg for marbles if I want any good old marbles..
Have you been looking on ebay? Gas prices are HIGH. people are not spending the money on stuff like this like they were. There are big lots of marbles on ebay all the time. And if you know what you are looking at.....you can buy hundreds of good ones for like 100 bucks.
Start typing in "Marble collection" "Marble Lot" "Old marbles" . Then go to "Highest Priced items first" you will see the best lots.....they will have lots of bids and be like in the $75.00-150.00 range after 3 or 4 days.
Those are the marbles you would want to buy. But pay attention to condition....and make sure you know what you are doing on some level. If you do......you will have success buying marbles on ebay. If you go to "completed listings" you can look at all the marble lots that sold....and what they sold for. That is how you get a good judge on what to pay. If you do that on a regular basis and get bids in in the last few seconds on the auctions....you will get mind blowing deals on marbles.
The people selling the marbles on ebay...will all throw bids at the marbles they can sell.....the good stuff. You will see it in the bid numbers. Most of the sellers on ebay selling individual marbles.....buy all their inventory in lots from ebay. Then relist with good images.
Wow ! Marble Heaven ! We love the large pieces of cullet too. Grateful to share in your experiences in such a magical place. So awesome everytime you go to that creek.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Love the creek finds
Yea....me too. It is nice to be able to go someplace and actually find a bunch of stuff all at once like this. It is hard to believe how many marbles are there
What an awesome location to hunt for marbles! I hope the heat backs off a little for you.
I hope so too! But you know.....it is not to bad. I went out on the river at 7 am....back by 9 before it gets hot. Even down in the woods on that dump.....it is a little cooler being under the big trees. I can handle the dump for a few hours per day. if I get to hot I just leave. I can pretty much walk if I wanted to most of the places I look.....so just the convenience of it is super nice. I have one dump that is 200 yards from my back door.
Beautiful marbles and cullott. I would have a hard time just taking the best ones, I’d have to collect all of them! Thanks Rocks!!😊
After you go 3 or 4 times......you have so much. The place is toxic is the only thing. I dont go there much for that reason. I live so close to this place. I could row there in my kayak from my house in 10 minutes. It is just to dangerous to go all the time. I am afraid I will get to much exposure to bad stuff in that water. I will go back 100%......but this will be the last time for a month or more. I will probably pick a real cool day and go
I had no idea a place like that would be toxic, but it makes sense. Be careful out there!
that was some pretty cool glass...
The only bad thing about this place...I cannot go there much. There are no fish.....frogs....crawdads....nothing. it is super toxic. I try to only go a few times a year anymore.
@@rockscousteau from the marble factory or other source
If I wasn't disabled I would love to come up there and help you dig for marbles
Love these videos I'd drive down there for cullet
Anyone can go there on certain areas and mess around. The only thing is this. Read about the Water issue in Paden City.
All the ground water is contaminated. The entire place should be an EPA super site right now. And this creek is probably one of the top 10 most toxic places in the US. Bad stuff was dumped there. The reason the ground water is all screwed up there....are dumps like this.....right around the water table.
Just stay dry if you go....dont get the water....or the dirt on your skin. If you wear gloves and boots....you will be ok. That is why I only go so often there.....so I am not exposed to all the toxins in the ground.
Great marbles!! and it's always good to see your squirrel buddy, he seems to be doing really good. Take it easy in this heat.
Thanks 👍 Old squirrel master will be in the next video. I got clips of him outside again
@@rockscousteau woo hoo!
I came across your channel about 4 months ago just love them
Thank You. If I can get my views up a little more I will start selling on ebay again. I am right at the point now where I can relax a little.....almost
Gosh the are great finds !
nice!!! L8A!!!!
Thank you! Cheers!
So cool you have access to that spot! Would love to knapp some of that collet into points, they would be awesome looking!!
Boy you could knap some killer arrowheads out of that glass
it really depends on the glass...some of it just performs horrible. Some of it is DREAM material to knap. You just have to hold it in your hand kind of....you can tell after you test a few pieces just from looking at the surface. That one piece that was grey with the blue spot in it....would be perfect. Slab it to where that spot of blue is in the center of the point. It would be awesome. That is why I took that piece.
I mudlark in my old creeks all the time but never find marbles.
Well the only reason this place has marbles like this is the marble factory that makes them is right down the road. That is the only reason it is like this
@@rockscousteau I find arrowheads and beads all the time. Especially now that I've found a few places to look. I'll have to send you a few beads and a arrowhead. I'm fixing to start diving the Tennessee River for bottles.
I love the marble creek! You finally went back to it! Thank you. Look at all that glass!
Thanks for watching!
Good video, I think that it would be fun to go to a marble dump - some things that I would never even think of doing unless there was an old marble factory nearby.
Very true! thanks for stopping Phil
Thanks!
thank You so much Holly
Amazing marbles Rocks !! Easier than digging in a dump isn't it ?
I dunno.....i think it is worse to be honest. I think that is worse because of the standing water...it is damp....humid...and miserable. It is down in a real deep gulley too. And the air is stagnant.
The ground is full of toxins.....that is what is the worst thing I think. I limit my exposure to that place because of that. The ground water in the town this dump is in....will be an EPA super site eventually. It is contaminated.....they have a mess here in this place.
That's some impressive sifting !
Loved the video, all the nice marbles, and seeing Squirrel Man. Glad you were in a cooler, shady place with this repressive heat. Oops. Just read one of your replies down below about the marble creek NOT being the kind of cool, shady place I had thought it was. Glad to hear you don't come into contact with the potential toxins there very often or for very long periods of time. Be careful!
Glad you enjoyed it--Thanks Dennis. Appreciate the visit
👍👍👍👍👍
✌🏼💚✌🏼💚🙏🏻
Well that was what I call fun! It was neat watching you dig in the old factory dump and find bunches of marbles all at once. I know you have to be selective, but I’d probably end up taking too many, hehehe 😂!
The only bad thing there Gayle....it is so damp and wet down in there....and there are TOXINS in the ground. There are never even crawdads.....frogs....or fish of any kind in the creek. That means it is full of toxins....and it is. That is why I only go there some...this is the kind of place you develop a rare form of cancer from being exposed to something bad.
Someone with a compromised immune system......a place like this could kill them.
@@rockscousteau Oh no, yikes! I understand completely then. Yes, I’d limit my visits too.
That looks like a fun place to find marbles and stuff. I was thinking as I watched it that it would be amazing if you also found a point there! LOL
I did find a big one there in like 1998. But you get a real distorted view on here of finding arrowheads in creeks. You go try and sift arrowheads in a creek......you wont find shit. It is just the easiest place to throw down items in videos.
One point in that creek and I have went there for 20+ years.
Wow. That cullet is awesome. Let us know if you decide to sell any of it.
It is to the point now....I cannot even find time to watch other videos or mail stuff. I am about to the point where I can back off now and still make enough income. But until I am sure I just have to hammer on the videos till I start making over 2000 a month. Then I will be able to start selling stuff
nice marbles. good to see squeal man.
More to come! I passed out at 7 last night....I will start on a video today
Thank you 🙏
You’re welcome 😊
Some nice finds & right on top of river bed. Very cool that you found that place. Squirrel man looking good, still dragging that back leg, does vet think it will ever be normal again?
Thanks 👍 He is about back to normal now. He was doing good outside today.
Yes,,, you need to drink more WATER... In SC at 2030 hour, it was 94 degrees and feel like was 105. Squirrel Man is looking good.
TN / SC SWAMPMASTER
Yea....it is pretty warm. It was around that here today. I went out on the river for like 2 hours a did some digging around noon.....and did pretty good. Got 4 artifacts in 2 hours sifting. I found some more marbles in the dump yesterday as well.
First❤️
New sub! Liked 👍😀✌️🙏
Thanks for coming---Another New Video tonight.
Squirrel Man is really looking better!
Oh I know......it took a good while for him to get from like 80% back to close to 100%. He is not back to the way he was before....but almost now. Several people on here told me they had pets with the same disorder and it took a year or a little over for them to recover. And that is about what it took for squirrel man. I started giving him Carnation Instant breakfast mixed with milk. It really made a difference for him getting all those vitamins
Glad to see him getting better, felt so bad for him. Your doing a great job taking care of him!!
If you ever want to do giveaways, you have a great supply for free. You could also sell cullet +, I'm sure theres a market for it. :~)
Get a thermacell from walmart for keeping bugs 15 feet away!!, works great
I tried one in places like this. It wont work as good as the off. I get bit either way with either or both......it is just about the same. It works if I am in a less damp area. But it almost doesnt work at all in the dump
Awesome marble pickings Rocks! The colours are beautiful. That ½ Ruby one would be nice in a pendant or ring 💍 Is there enough water somewhere in the creek to get in? 😆 Squirrel is so cute. He sure has a gourmet diet! Why does he drag his back leg?
You cant really get in the water at all if you dont have protection. The water is all toxic. It is not only full of glass...it is full of chemicals. There never usually is much water in the place. It soaks into the ground fast.
@@rockscousteau ohh! An environmental disaster! 😒 It was back in the day when everything went in the river, hey? Sad 😔
New sub! Liked ✌️✌️🙏🧨👍
