They may be smallish, but they sure are purdy and shiny. A couple of them look like eyeballs!
Nice find. Thanks for sharing them, Joe.

Nice score. But don't let a night light shine on those. Can you imagine waking up at night and seeing those things looking at you ? Time to change the sheets. LOL

Lucky you!
Definitely a pile of pretties. .
I thought the eyeballs might be light reflections. Not so.
Enjoy!
