That blue stone at 1:14 😍
I have a little blue sea glass
So glad I found your video! Moved to PNW recently and am fascinated by this stuff. Great job :) This adventure is now on my to do list!
Disappointed you didn't show the haul at the end of your day's work.
So I guess throwing glass into the ocean has one good use
I went to a rock beach today and I find a few of them but they were all green. I was hoping for a variety of colours. But I’m going to Florida soon so hopefully I find lots at the beach.😬🤞🏾
So beautiful wish I could go there
At 3:17 the rock next to his finger and thumb, look's like it has a drawing of a rose on it.
It's a geode
No, it’s dried red seaweed. I’ve been fooled several times while rock hunting North Beach ( the beach at beginning of video).
Gorgeous!
Thank you for the video. I love Rock's. Glass is good too
Hola tu sabes de donde provienen esos vidrios??? Son restos de botellas o son naturalmente así ??
Hi thank you for this funny video
Nice videos brother
at 2:55 there was a open geode with amethyst inside on a big rock
Good eye it's right beside his hand at 3:17
Kael Bowditch it's probably nvm it's weird

I think it’s the red seaweed.
*picks up flashing shiny thing*
*soft voice* _my precious_
There’s a green one that appears in the upper left corner at 2:43 that I so wanted you to pick up, but you keep missing it. I hope you got it eventually.
Checking out your webpage (which I really love, btw! ) and the vids, I was wondering if you have or are planning to do any of these adventures up into Whatcom County? Thanks for all the informational help you give!
I typically don't get up to Whatcom County and really haven't spent time exploring that area. My primary focus has been out here on the Olympic Peninsula. I live in Port Orchard so this area is more accessible to my home. If Whatcom is your home then maybe you could start exploring the beaches there and provide some guidance for outsiders who might want to explore your area! Every beach is a wonderful place to explore and worth the experience!
Im in port Angeles and want to go look for gold and glass where can I go hear
Is it legal to pick it up ? Some places are banning it because they are being "over-harvested."
The Port Townsend area and all beaches are open to the public and free for beach combing. The Glass Beach area, as it is called by locals, is remote and requires a 3 mile beach hike from the closest parking lot and only when the tides are right. So, it is not highly visited by people. At the height of summer I've counted maybe 20 to 30 people out there and many are just walking the beach. The sea glass is sometimes obscured from sight by the many other rocks and not so easily seen as on the other Glass Beaches in California. So, for now there doesn't seem to be any restrictions on this beach in Port Townsend, WA. Thanks for the great question.
Fran Tastic no not over here
Glas Beach is where PT used as a dump. Used to all sorts of old kunk out there, even old cars.
@4:26 there is a beautiful pink rock at the top middle of the screen.
it is only a piece of pink seaweed washed up onto the rocks. There are many such pieces along with kelp all over the beach. Thanks for watching!
Thinking about doing the trip by kayak this summer... Launch near your parking lot there, ride the outgoing tides west, search the beach awhile, then ride the incoming tides back east. Have you seen others doing the trip that way?
Jim... yes! last summer I did see a family kayak out there. I was around McCurdy Point at the Glass Beach area then a family of three kayaks came around the point and beached themselves about one to one hundred fifty yards down past the point. Right at the point there are numerous large boulders. So, I would recommend going down a short distance and you will find some good beach areas to put up onto. I've also thought about doing the same thing with my wife but haven't tried it yet. Have a great trip and look for me out there. I usually go out on Mondays!
If you had extra glass how much could you sell it for (by pound)
blue,green,white, black,etc porosh stone sir😍
Glass Beach used to be the town dump for Port Townsend. Most places called "Glass Beach" were at one time city dumps.
Nice
Allan Newman Becouse trash bottles shatter and the sea makes them smooth...
And can You explein ser woth do you usualy do with that sea glas , wher do you seel it and four howmany per kilo.
シーグラスそのものが目的じゃなくても、海辺で一番きれいなのってシーグラスであることが多いから、なんだかんだで拾ってしまいますよね
سبحان الله .. حصلت مثلها الحجاره هذي وبكثره الأبيض والأحمر والأخضر وكلها شفافه
love ..tiny treasures;)
Is beach glass just regular pieces of glass or a natural gem stone?
These are not valuable gems, just pieces of glass.
Sea glass hunting is fan
I'm about to be moving into Everett for the next 3 years and I'm very interested in doing things like this. Maybe you could give me some pointer on how to go about finding stuff like this.
Sounds good. E-mail me when you are in the area and I'll direct you to some cool beaches up your way. Depending on how much time you have to explore there are loads of amazing locations to check out.
I think 3 years is plenty of time lol and I'll have multiple days off at a time so it's perfect
thanks for posting this info. question. how did the quality glass, get there on this remote beach (2.7) off the beaten path? You mentioned aged glass 50 or 60 years. placed? dumped? inquiring minds need to know.
www.pnwbeachcombing.com is my web page about beach combing on the Olympic Peninsula. You may read the field reports about Port Angeles, North Beach and Glass Beach in Port Townsend, WA that will give you information about he history of beach dumping that most of these coastal communities used to do as a matter of practice for garbage disposal back before the 1960s. "Glass Beach" was a remote beach that many residents would drive out to and dump their garbage over the 60-80 foot cliff onto the beach below. You will also see an historical picture on the sea glass page. link www.pnwbeachcombing.com/sea-glass.html that shows dumping over the cliff in Port Angeles back in those days. So, the sea glass found on most beaches around the world is placed there in years past by poor environmental practices and by the policies of coastal cities in decades past. Thanks for the question.
Ok! thanks. and the cliff dumping makes total sense for the how and why. Much better than the modern floating plastic. Maybe old bad becomes new good. love the videos.
👍🌟
that area has different colored pebbles of greens, black, pinks. If tumbled I'm sure are better finds then just glass...
Many sea glass collectors appreciate the value of a naturally tumbled piece of glass. It's not "just glass" but a uniquely created item. This also makes the production of jewelry with genuine sea glass a valuable item. The collectors are not looking for naturally tumbled colored rock but sea glass that has been on the beach and processed for decades. Many beautiful pieces of rock can be purchased on-line but they were not naturally produced by "wave action" on a beach. This unique process on discarded glass creates the value.
You found a sea glass but I found a rose quartz and amethyst Geodes 🤑
I used to live in WA
*The forbidden snack*
new too this is it worth anything
Once I went to a glass beach and found a knife.It was metal, but idk why there would be a knife at a glass beach.
Most glass beaches were old town dumps. Almost all of the metal has rusted away leaving only the broken pieces of tumbled pottery and glass pieces that have been rounded and smoothed over many years. An old knife would not be uncommon but it would definitely rust away over the years. If the one you found wasn't that rusted then I would assume it had recently been dropped on the beach by a hiker.
stop by wite rock
What is the value of a medium sized piece of glass. I have a large container full from when I'v gone to the beach near my house and maybe I can cash in on what other people thought I was odd for stopping and collecting. Cheers and happy hunting :)
you might find some buyers on craigslist or even etsy. Do a search and type in "etsy sea glass" where you will find various lots of sea glass for sale. Some people simply mass produce the faked sea glass by tumbling it in a cement mixer or something else. If your collection is genuine sea glass found on a beach then you should get a little more for it. Also, depending on the quality of your sea glass, you should get more if it is frosted and has rounded edges. See my web page on "sea glass" on pnw.beachcombing.com Have fun hunting!
Tim Blair i hve some glss so how can i contact with you sorry i don't know very well English

I fund them just anywhere at a beach but once I find it I throw back into the sea lol
Hannah Sabrina don’t do that unless they’re sharp
😄😄🤔🤔🤔
I can go there to glass beach?
The beach is open to all people. You just need to check the tide schedule to make sure you don't go out when the tides are too high. You might get stuck on the beach or up on the cliff rocks trying to avoid the waves.
حلووو
"Extremely rare sea glass!"

WHERE IS THAT TELL ME TELL ME NOW
Port Townsend ,Washington- you will find a map to the beach parking lot on my web site, pnwbeachingcombing.com. Just explore the "Sea Glass" tab on my web site and you will find a map to the location featured on each field report.
بويي بويه
hi Sir. good day.. i would like ask to this stone they are valuable?lol.... i love to collect to.. i love your video.. im from Ph. Godspeed
Yes, they can be if prepared in a jewelry presentation. A piece of sea glass that is wire wrapped and hung on a sterling silver chain can bring $30.00 to $50.00 on line on a market site like... etsy.com. You can also make earrings out of the nicely tumbled, rounded and frosted sea glass pieces.
very thanks Sir.. coz' i have some of my aquarium.. some are cristal.. but need to pulish so that its shine.. thank you Sir.. Godbless
جميل
انقلش هههههه مدري وش يقول بس اخوي ممكن تفهمني وش يقول عن نوعيه الحجر لاني حصلت مثلها
🤗😂
2:42 isn’t that a geode rock on the right ?
there are many round granite rocks on this beach... that is what you saw. Thanks for the close observation!
jersey shore has good sea glass
Yes it does I go sea glass hunting at sandy hook
Potential and likely plastic pollution if they were former dumps.
Human glass lol... Just the sea made it not razor sharp anymore
can i have some blue
Go and search for it if you want some.
How much thwy cost?,
Caco de vidro rolado
Forbidden gummy
can i go there
yes... any time but make sure you look at the tide schedules. The high tides cover this beach and make it dangerous during the winter months. Get a tide app for your smart phone. It will make the trip much safer. Have a great time.
Tim Blair: watch my videos

Sea glass= glass from bottles that broke into pieces and have been in the ocean for a long time
no when lightning hits sand it creates glass and the water tosses it around and rounds it out
ugly sewer rat: I’ve lived 5 miles from glass beach for the last 11 years and have only seen lighting a few times. If it was glass from lightning strikes, which is a possibility, then there should be an equal distribution in the entire area. There is not.
Talked to a lady that said years earlier people went out there with 5 gallon buckets and came back with them half to totally filled. Now I see some come back with with half a gallon ziplock bag full, some good size pieces. Closer to North Beach it is picked over. I’m not a glass collector but still will pick up the big pieces to give away. The browns sure looks like beer bottle brown or old pre-plastic brown glass. Also, the locals say it was a place garbage was dumped years ago.
@@fleur0925 yes, that does happen in the South I believe but the majority is made from broken bottles. China, antique jars that have all been broken and they tumble for years around the rocks.
متت قهر😢
Why did you not show what you found? SERIOUSLY. ??????
This was the first video I made of sea glass hunting on Glass Beach. You will see in the other videos regarding sea glass hunting that many views of the results of a good day of hunting are shown. You can also view our web page www.pnwbeachcombing.com with more information about sea glass. We also make sea glass jewelry for sale on etsy.com- see our store at "pnwbeachtreasures" on the etsy web site.
Tim Blair ok, sorry. I didn't mean to seem so mean. It was late and I was tired. I was just wanting to see the collection since you said you got a bit of glass collected that day. I will check out your other stuff. I cannot go to the beach any more due to mobility issues, so I vicariously through you get to go, heh heh heh.

Stop talking you and get walking
This is not cool
Look, it says on the title "Sea Glass Hunting" Not a discussion about sea glass ! I hate the talking, next time please lessen the talking...
Throw more glass junk into the ocean right now or the future generation will run out of sea glass
