I have a couple of jars with "Stuff" imbedde in the glass. I thought it might be neat to see what kind of things others might have found . Here's a scan of a Ball PERFECT MASON with a chunk of twisted wire encased in the right mold seam. I can't believe this ever made it out of the plant.

I have a few. This one has a needle or grass in it. When I bought it I thought it was just a string of green glass but when I looked at it under a 20 power visor I found it was some kind of plant.

I also have a jar with a mosquito in the glass and another with a tiny stick.

I have a buddy that doesn't collect fruit jars sitting on one to torture me that has a caterpiller in the glass. He will sell it to me when he's finished messing with me.

It always amazes me how this kind of stuff gets in the glass and doesn't burn up or vaporize.
