John's been a friend for 40 years. I have so much respect for his efforts finding the lesser crap and getting plastic off the beaches in the NW For every item you see he has probably removed another piece of worthless plastic trash from the beach and made sure it made it into a proper trash can. The beaches are special places to visit - Please be like John and respect them and clean up the debris - Pack it out when you can. Great story old friend, see you at the beach in Aug. HOGG ON. mdd
I live in the marshy peninsulas on Maryland’s eastern shore so beachcombing is in my blood. Your video wasn’t what I expected but exactly what I needed. Sure do miss hearing interesting people like you just tell their stories simply without fluff.
I’m absolutely in awe of your collection! When Kirsti said you most likely had the largest Beachcombing collection ever, I expected a lot of stuff, but I couldn’t even fathom the unbelievable treasure trove you’ve amassed over the years. Its absolutely crazy what washes up on our beaches. So glad to see that you’re putting so much of it to use. Thank you for all your efforts!!
What an Amazingly breathtakingly beautiful beach to go Beach Combing on! So love doing this Too with my daughter and friends at Taylors Mistake beach in Aotearoa NZ etc… Thanks and have subscribed 🕊🌊🌳⛰🌏💖
What a wonderful collection... Heaven on earth!!! After 60 years of beachcombing throughout Florida (and producing 3 more collectors) we understand your love of the beach. Thank you for sharing!
amazing and thank you for sharing your treasures,knowledge and inspiration. I’m off to the nearest beach to me in Australia tomorrow to see some shells and pick up any rubbish I find.
I met you at your museum when I found it by accident. I loved your stories and your Ronkon motorcycle find. I did buy a glass fish float and I see it everyday sitting in my living room. I live near Lake Michigan and am a bit of a beachcomber myself. It is so relaxing and rewarding. The last time out, I found a diamond ring in where someone had a beach campfire! Keep walking and finding!
Great video, my favorite pastime, I remember boating past Maurel Is. several times looking for the elephant in elephant mt. About the third time the elephant stood up and walked, just different lighting or shadows made it very obvious. Thanks for the memories.
When I was probably 10 I put a message in a bottle while sailing in the San Juan islands. It took a couple years, but eventually I got a letter in the mail from the recipient. I should put a couple more out there.
A fella I knew worked at a remote cape in Australia 🇦🇺 the amount of floats and glass floats he had was staggering 👍their was one family bit further south found a 44 gallon drum 🥁 of hashish lol 😂
Man I’d love to take you to some of the secret spots I know of here on Big Island Hawaii. There’s so much treasure it’s crazy. It needs to be really calm waters for the best spots though. Only happens a few days a year.
Oh man. The garbage really freaks me out. I saw a video from the Philippines? last night and it was truly horrifying. The sea life is gone. It really looks disgusting. Shame on mankind. Shame.

I didn't even know this was a thing that I needed in my life!
I have driven by his museum thousands of times but never have stopped. Gonna have to check it out. Got to love the Olympic coast.
Wow, you should be in the world Record book for many of your collections! Thank you for sharing.
I live in Port Angeles Washington and never heard of this place. Will definately be visiting!🙏❤️🇺🇲
Wow, your collection is awesome! I used to beach comb in my younger days. What you've found is so exciting!
Thanks for showing your fantastic beach combing artifacts ❤❤❤

Great video!
Your collection is so awesome! I love beachcombing. I don't have access to the the really isolated beaches. Have fun!

Awesome presentation. Very cool museum. Would love to see it. I recognized a couple seabean photos. :)
Thanks for letting us include your sea bean photos!!!
Thank you, this is fascinating
I love this! Great finds
Fantastic program! Thank you!
I like the message s in a bottle s very cool indeed
When I was probably 10 I put a message in a bottle while sailing in the San Juan islands. It took a couple years, but eventually I got a letter in the mail from the recipient. I should put a couple more out there.
That's so cool!
@ it really was! I had almost completely forgotten about it until my dad brought me the letter. Really great childhood memory.
This was a great video!
Amazing ! Thank you for sharing your treasures and incredible stories
Absolutely amazing! Hope I have the opportunity to visit your museum some day, and some if those area beaches.
A fella I knew worked at a remote cape in Australia 🇦🇺 the amount of floats and glass floats he had was staggering 👍their was one family bit further south found a 44 gallon drum 🥁 of hashish lol 😂
Wow I bet those currents brought in lots of stuff...good and bad!!
@@Beachcombing he got sacked when Mitsubishi took over the mine site . Often wonder 💭 what became of them floats
Floodplain you're going to have a hell of a time when cascadia rips loose.
