...13th and 14th centuries. The Met possesses one rare example, the so-called Chichester-Constable chasuble, whose scenes (like the Adoration of the Magi, opposite) are embroidered with dense, flat expanses of metal-covered thread. Tin, mined in Cornwall, was drawn to a fine ribbon, coated with gold, wound around the silk and then worked into the red velvet ground with a gold or silver needle; steel needles, as known today, were not used until the 15th century...

There is also profit in shell collecting. At a recent auction, something called a Golden Cowrie, often found in the Fijis, went for more than...
