This has to be one of my favorite Magnet Fishing finds of a time! 🧲 Uranium glass is glass that has had uranium added to it before melting to create colours. Typically, pieces are made with low levels of uranium, meaning anywhere from trace amounts to 2%. However, some pieces have been found to be made up of 25% uranium. The uranium was added for the fluorescent effect it created. It soon became incredibly popular and started to be manufactured across Europe and North America. Most uranium glass is decorative, tableware or household items, with many pieces looking like carnival glass. The manufacture of uranium glass dropped dramatically in the 1940s as a result of the Second World War, which saw the availability of uranium fall. #magnetfishing #magnet #magnetic #fishing #fishtok #fish #fishingtiktoks #Michigan #river #rivers #trash #puremichigan #treassurehunt #mudlarking #metaldetecting #uraniumglass #uranium #sign #collection #antique #glass #glassblowing #glasspainting
