By far,the best finds I have made are my collection of
Freshwater Pearls, I started finding them when I used mussel's
for fish bait, & after about 12 years of looking in private lakes,
this is what I collected, I threw away a handfull of defective
ones, some looked like (absessed teeth).
The button industry used musselshells up until Celluloid &
Plastic came along, now American shells are shipped to Japan
to use in the manufacture of Cultured Pearls.
Pics of shell buttons included,(found in an old house).
