I know what it is, lots of them in the river, has no value but I always have found them interesting..Oh- and it's not a pearl, or even a clam.. Might be a pig castorator LOL!

Always wondered what the proper name was Those who would give up essential liberty, to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety. Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790)

Always wondered why the people who sell novelty items along the river did have these as ear rings or bracelets or something? like the coon and mink peckers that some shops sell..Maybe I'm missing my big chance to make that fist million???
