Cool post. Ive only found a handful of marbles and just a few of the clay ones. I do love finding them though! I hope to get on a marble hot streak too. They sure are fun to see in the plug in contrast to the dirt.
The clear marbles with the air bubbles in them might be railroad marbles. Here is an interesting link.

Where do you keep your marbles?
That's intersting and pretty cool too!
The marble in your first pic and the one next to it top left of your group pic were made by the Vitro Agate Company in West Virginia Probably late 40's early 50's. The center marble in the group pic probably is a painted china marble. Here is a site that is good for identifying American glass marbles.

Thanks SW! I absolutely agree - great fun, and that color contrast in a plug is a cool surprise. I've had two now that happen to be embedded in the side of the plug as I flipped it! Kind of reminded me of the old Dio song, "Rainbow in the Dark", seeing those color swirls against the dark earth!
Nice photo! Haha on 5 gallon bucket. I could easily fill a gallon milk jug though.Congrats..
Love finding marbles!
I've found more than a few water hunting myself.. Some of them are frosted like beach glass..
Jamflicker has got to have a five gallon bucket full by now..
Picture is of one season of eyeball finds from the water..
