and the cone will ultimately pass through the orifice defined by spaces 28 29 move into the medial channel 14 of body tube 13 as the cone moves through the entry structure 12 the fingers 25 of entry structure 12 by reason of retentent memory will return to their null state that existed before deformation and the tool will be ready for a second similar pine cone collecting operation as described the collected cone in medial channel 14 of the cylindrical tube 13 will be retained within the tube 13 because there is no external force in the body channel 14 upon the cone to allow it to deform fingers 25 to move outwardly therepast and the force of gravity acting upon the cone and any other cones in the body channel 14 is not sufficient to cause such action the cone collecting process then is continued in a similar fashion until a quantity of cones is carried within medial channel 14 of the body 10 at this point when the collecting operation has been completed or the body 10 reasonably filled with pine cones the tool is manually moved to a disposition sight spacedly above the area where cones are to be deposited the tool is manually manipulated to turn it upside down and the pine cones carried in medial channel 14 of the body 10.
