Leaving aside the question of whether the liquid will mix with whatever it is meant to float (or not) upon, the answer depends on what substance it is required to float upon. If Mercury, yes, it will float (if it does not mix). Pure water, it certainly will not (but could mix).

What is a good a object that will float holding marbles?
A good object that will float is a plastic container. It worked for me. Yes a plastic container will work well it worked in my science class.
You toss a coin into a wishing well full of a liquid denser than the coin. will the coin sink?
no, it will float on the surface
If you toss a coin into a liquid that in denser than the coin what would happen?
The coin would float.
What would happen to a liquid or solid that has a lower density than water is placed in container of water?
Lower density materials float in higher density fluids. This does not occur if two miscible fluids are miscible (dissolve in each other). In that case the one fluid mixed with the other (e.g. alcohol and water)
How does Archimedes principle relate to covection?
I assume you mean "convection". The hotter liquid or gas is less dense, so it has less weight per unit volume, and it tends to float (move upward).
