Tennessee Woman Bites Into Oyster and Finds Not 1 But 50 Pearls Inside!

Toni Elliott, 53 yrs old was out having dinner with family and friends at Pucketts Boat House in Franklin Tennessee when she bite down on an oyster she was eating and felt something hard. She thought she might have broken a tooth, but that was not the case. When she spite out the hard object in her mouth, she found that it was a small pearl.  The waitress came over and asked if she was alright and Toni showed her the pearl. So the waitress checked the oyster and found 49 other pearls of various sizes but mostly baby pearls. So she took them to the back and cleaned them off and brought them back in a cup for her. The waitress and manager said that other customers have found pearls in the past but no one has ever found 50 at one time. According the restaurant they get their oysters from the Gulf of Mexico off the Louisiana coast. No word on how much Toni's pearls are worth. I think she needs to have them appraised. hahahaha
