Shed Hunting

I make at least one formal foray yearly into Lancaster's County Park for shed hunting reasons. While I've yet to find an antler there- I've learned from the experience.

What can you do with an antler? I suppose you might make buttons, a chandelier, or a very small rake...

It's interesting the way antlers are shed- after a skin membrane grows-across the interior base, eliminating the blood supply that had fed the velvet.

There's more to this than a knack for foraging...
