    For those of you who collect beach glass and display it. If you put your collection in a glass tube, do not use saltwater/tap water, Instead, use rubbing alcohol and fill the tube or jar with it. That way the jar stays clear without having to change it if it were saltwater/tap water and the colors stay vivid for years.

    This video made me so envious. I was in PT for an art retreat several years back without a car...I was there with a local who took me and another friend to North Beach late in the day and we were able to pick up just a few pieces as it was getting dark. This was the first day, we never made it back over! I spent the entire event hoping we would, only to be disappointed that we didn’t. To see this video allowed me to see what I missed! Argh...Great video, however! Tfs

    This beach is below the cliff where everyone used to dump their garbage. There are a few spots like this along the bluff. I knew a woman Native woman who died at over 100 and she used to talk about growing up in the Native camp on the beach near Fort Warden and how as children she and her friends would always sneak off to find what the people in town and thrown away. Low tide after a storm is always the best pickings. Though when I moved to the area 25 years ago it wasn't unusual to find whole beer steins, teapots and sometimes silverware. Sad to think that somewhere that's been loved by locals for so long will eventually disappear as more people find out about it.

      Agree about the sad part! We have a Glass Beach in California, and for years , with the internet , people found out and it became a free for all! Now they do not allow any glass to be removed, at all! Apparently it worked , and it's been restored pretty well! Let's hope Washington's glass beach stays that way! 💙

I do still have them and have them in a huge candle display.... I shoved the candle in the middle of the decanter and spill the glass along the sides and looks great at night light. im sure there are many options to do with them but I do like my display. fun and relaxing it is.

    I had so many pieces that I put them into the recycling bin, as they aren't meant to be on the beach.

      @timblair3004  6 років тому

      Yes... it is always very hard to leave and begin walking back. The reality of the tide returning and covering the beach does motivate me to make the 3 mile walk back to the parking lot. Every day brings a new batch of sea glass that is uncovered by the previous night's high tide and waves. I hope you can make it there some day!

    I know a couple of beaches here that have small pieces of different coloured glass. First came across it some 55 years ago as a kid aged 10. Never knew any of it was rare or could be used for anything. I'll have to head there and have a good search around, see what I can find, sizes, condition and colours.

    • @timblair3004
      @timblair3004  6 років тому +1

      Yes the sea glass hobby has definitely taken off over the last 15 years. There are costal communities that hold sea glass festivals filled with vendors who sell their sea glass jewelry or "genuine" hand picked pieces off of local beaches. The goal of most sea glass hunters is to find the jewelry quality type of sea glass that is completely frosted all around with no chips visible. The thicker the better. The older pieces of sea glass tended to be made of a thicker grade of glass. The more contemporary pieces are typically thinner glass. The avid collector is also looking for more exotic or rare colors. The reds, pinks, yellows, deeper blues called "cobalt blue" and lavenders are some of the sought after colors. The whites, ambers and greens (called Kelly Green) are the most common. Darker teals or lighter greens called sea foam are also enjoyed by collectors and good for making earrings or pendants for necklaces. Have a great time hunting. Do some research and find out all the details about the hobby. It will be addicting.

      The glass shards were left from the old town dump and then over many years they formed naturally into rounded pieces of beautiful sea glass. So, no ... they were not formed naturally by erosion but the left overs from the old town dump that was at that location. The sea then took over and recreated the remaining pieces of debris into pieces of art. The other pieces of metal were rusted away and are now practically gone. There only remains at McCurdy point a few vehicle axels and gear boxes which are highly rusted.

      I have been out to this beach many times. I typically gather my collection that I had accumulated over several hours of hunting and make a few video statements. I do always collect that amount each time. I guess I have had a better experience finding it. It IS just laying around out there and one needs to just look diligently and you WILL find it. If you are impatient then I guarantee you will not find many pieces. I completely disagree with your statement. Please, if you are not satisfied with going out there....Stop going!

      Gracias..... I am glad you love my videos. You probably have beaches with much sea glass and beautiful stones. The sea glass is found on beaches where trash or garbage was dumped many years ago. Thank you for your words.
