- Snares are still made in my district. They are made to catch rabbits and hares. They are made out of copper wire. Six strands of wire about one foot six inches long are wound round each other leaving an eye in the top of the wire for the other end to go through.
Bird baskets were made in my district also, but they are not made now.
Slings were made in my district but they are not made now.- Collector
