WOW 🤩 WONDERFUL finds!!! Sooooo beautiful 😍
What a lovely collection, so much cool stuff you could use those for. Too bad we don't have much if any sea glass over here in Northern Europe 🤔
Head south to the UK, Italy and Spain and you should have some luck.
Cool collection. I have just 5 sea glasses.
I’m finding your videos so interesting and informative! Thank you SO much for taking the time to make them (I occasionally make videos myself so I understand it all takes time and effort)! 😍☺️
thank you so much. they are really very amateurish - more substance than style - but at least people are learning things to enhance their Beachcomb forays…
Very interesting I've been collecting just a few months love it. Scotland highlands.inverness.
I am totally in love with this video - it inspires me to treasure hunt! Thank you for sharing your beautiful wealth of knowledge! :)
Yay! Then it served its purpose.
Oh, now I want to go to a beach again to see what I can find!

Have fun!
You should!
Awesome info Dr B
Hey Boo-Boo. You summer in a good sea glassing region!
Regarding the “Fundy glass”: this is the same type of large weathered shard that I find at my local beachcombing spot in Boston Harbor at the mouth of a tidal river. It’s a sheltered low energy beach with mud flats. The glass is quite old but stays in large shard form with light frost and is no longer sharp.
Very informative! I love your tutorial, each piece has a history.
It truly does...history at our feet.
It does, though watching them back, I tend to get so excited, I talk too fast at times...hahaha!
Thanks so much! Greatly appreciate your information!
Welcome!
Loved this, thank you for sharing.
You are so welcome!
Thank you for sharing! Great new channel... Happy hunting in 2020!
Same to you!
Not so much hunting for me this year. Trying to stay alive so I can do more combing 2021 and beyond. Stay well.
Thank you.x
You are so welcome
Have just found your channel and wow, so happy. Your collections are amazing and ever so interesting. Thank you for sharing. I too, am a avid fossicker but over here in New Zealand we have very limited supplies for we are a young country, with really not much history.
I have yet to visit your country - have been trying to get there for the last 40+ years! Yes, for great fossils, head to North America or England's southern and northeastern coasts. But rumor has it that NZ has great shelling beaches around the Bay of Islands...
Hi , thanks for all your videos think im nearly done watching.
Im currently sorting my sea glass in colours but it's so tricky to determine. Any help or tips please?
Many thanks
“Mermaid nipples” 😆😆 totally using that
use someting like a welders rod to heat and make glass beads from the broken glass
Brilliant, very informative, thanks
I have just become a sea glass searcher and am completely obsessed now.
I live on The Isle of Man , in the Irish Sea between Island and Northern England.
I already have some lovely treasures x
Well I need to come visit you when the pandemic lifts! Have wanted to explore the Isle of Man so maybe we can meet up and go Beachcombing together! Are most of your beaches rocky or...?
Dr.Beachcomb ooh yes that would be lovely! Our beaches are a mixture of both, Laxey where I live , has a Harbour, with a river running into it, lots of pebbles rocks and sand too. I could do with you there to tell me what everything is! I am now obsessed with glass fishing weights like in your bowl. So now I need to visit Japan or Hawaii! Stay safe and hopefully won’t be too long until we can travel. Isle of Man has had it’s borders closed since March, they say this will be the last measure to be relaxed, it seems to be working though, with very few cases. X
@@sarahwhite7732 Ok! It's a date - once there is a viable covid vaccine, you head over here en route to Japan or me I'll meet up with you for some combing en route to Scotland. (Ireland has wonderfully large flat scallop shells...)
@@s.d.patolo4279 If you come to Scotland visit me in Inverness Ill show you all the nearby locations and you can see my fairly new collection great info channel learning a lot! Thanks
Do you make things out of the glass?
Sometimes I make little beach sushi trays with glass and fossils and stones that I glue onto a plate. They’re pretty cute but I don’t generally collect to make things to sell.
Do you have any South East england glass or slag, or any other beachcombed item
No! South of London? Haven’t gotten down that way yet but would love to comb there…
@@dr.beachcomb4221 yes south of london, have watched 2 or 3 of your videos and has made me want to go to different beaches but i dont drive so can only go to my local beach
@@joshuaalden-gibbs6949 well if your home beaches bring joy and are productive, yay! I spent years only walking my hone beach and really got to know it well. I came to live what it offered up and would also def find some interesting treasure on many occasions.
is it safe to step on barefoot? does it depend on type?
if the sea glass is thick and worn, it usually won’t break if stepped on
so, how do we know it was white in the beginning?
Are you talking about some purples? If so, just leave it in the sun for three or four months and see if it darkens even more.
Stoppers is the name u were looking for
Yes, right! Thank you! and stick around because at 71, I’m just gonna need all the help I can get down the road retrieving the names of things!!
