Found a milk glass egg in the hole

[Electricbutter]

I’ve found a few non metallic items in the hole nut this is my best so far. There was a piece of tin directly under the egg. What are the chances? I thought it was plastic at first but after a bit of research I wanna say it’s a Victorian Hand blown milk glass egg. Love this hobby.

Nice find. Makes ya wonder who "planted" it? Thanks for sharing...

glass eggs were sometimes used for chicken snakes as well

These were common right into the 1940s I think. I found lots of them around old abandoned chicken coops.

As a kid we had Bantam chickens. One day I was in the garage and I came across a very young Bantam hen sitting on a clutch of round wooden drawer knobs. Had shoo her away and stash the wooden knobs so that she would not spend eternity there.

I keep a golf ball in our chicken's nest boxes. This past summer a chicken snake got in the hen house and swallowed a golf ball. My wife got the ball back. The snake didn't survive the surgery.

Cool! I could this one next to a cellar hole probably where the chicken coop was. Thanks

I’ve read that these were used as a snake trap of sort. The snake would eat it then it would break inside. Ouch
