the glass thing is really heavy and was used to attach telephone and electricity cables to old wooden posts.
My friend went on a trip to Israel and brought me back this necklace. If I remember correctly the shell itself is from Israel and the thread is from Egypt.

Compared to the Great Swamp NWR there's not a whole lot of RWBs at The Hook, but there are some specialists there that have developed some great techniques for feeding a family at the Jersey Shore. This particular guy was a shrimper, and he would find small shrimp in the swallow water on the flats at the "belly" of the hook. Here he's holding one down with his foot while he eats the good parts.

Most of the shellermen I was around kept watch on the drags all the time. It was the best way to keep an eye on how much corn was going to the machine. You sure didnt want to get a machine clogged up with too much wet, shuckey corn. Plus rocks,or metal objects would break many of the cast parts inside the sheller. There were some guys near here who built steel parts for the inside of the sheller. That were much stronger than the cast parts. But you still needed to know what was going into it.
