mussle shell
TRACY:
In Indiana, we haven't been allowed to harvest them for several years due to over harvesting in the past. We always boiled them sacked them and then sold them. I would think a metal sanding drum on a drill would work? Anyone use them for strike plates? I know that General Motors bought them to decorate the interiors of Cadilacs; door lock knobs, gear shift lever knob and dashboard inlays.
Dingleberry:
Back in the day, they were used for buttons (harvested in huge quantities) before synthetics were invented.
Postman:
y'all might be able to find some introduced nuisance stuff like zebra mussels to use
DanaM:
Who wants zebra muscle shells, how many tons ya want???
They aren't big enough for anything except maybe as a gravel replacement. Lake Michigan shorelines are 6 feet deep with them in some areas :'(
michbowguy:
