Marbles

Been scouring the interweb, trying to procure
A simple little gadget that’s available, I’m sure
I’ve never seen one advertised, not even on TV
If you know where they sell them, can you get in touch with me
E bay had some stuff to find a buried treasure chest
But nothing that would help locate, the object of my quest
I need to get one quickly, before mine disappear
To lose them all completely is, by far my greatest fear
Their numbers dwindle daily as more and more abscond
I wish that there was someone who, could wave a magic wand
So, if you see a marble finder that’s for sale, at any price
Would you kindly let me know, and I will be there in a trice
