Not glass, but hardened resin. Used to track littoral currents and drift. Has metal so it can be found later with a metal detector.

A tracer pebble, interesting. But they seem to be rather made of the same pebble they are supposed to trace. https://southerncoastalgroup-scopac.org.uk/tracer-pebble-studies/

Jeez I can't last longer than 10 minutes.
Either I'm spamming or "providing content"
Last one for a while.
10 minutes!! I did it!

Do this long enough and I’m pretty sure you can put social media professional on your resume.
Can you give us a banana for scale?
Y'all are too good. I made this one harder on purpose.
About 3 inches long. Fits in your palm.
Wait. It's my wife's husband!
A water cooled amber. For obvious reasons.
I wonder if it's a kind of stir-bar, put it in a container and oscillate a magnetic field outside to move the contents around.

It's a glass egg
...thing
hand warmer
A battery holder?
Lookd like its next to a sink, methinks soap
What is the size? Looks like a can inside, if it’s large. If it’s small it looks like a threaded rod, or grub screw or something like that.
~~What is the scale of this thing?~~

3 inches long
Butt plug
Definitely more of a suppository than a plug
