Today's treasures on the light box. |
“Pam, how do you find sea glass?”
- Go to the beach at low tide on one of the crappiest days of the year (windy, rainy, and cold).
- Be willing to have a drippy nose because you will eventually run out of tissues.
- Dress warm; wear wool.
- Be okay with soaking wet shoes, socks, and pant bottoms.
- Stay bent over the sand at a 90 degree angle, or better yet, crawl around on your hands and knees.
- Wear a belt because your pants are going to be falling down from the weight of the glass in your pockets.
- Be ready to answer questions from those curious and brave enough to talk to you.
- Wear contacts if you have them because you’ll get tired of wiping water away from your glasses.
- Remember to keep one eye on the ocean so you are not tumbling in the surf with the glass.

And, always remember to use the restroom before you leave the house!

Close up of Opalescent Glass |
Glorious, Pam. Love the close up & the Magical little Egyptian Pyramid, or maybe Mayan! Good finding, Dedicated Forager. Thanks for sharing your secrets. Reminds me of my collection from Lake Michigan. Not much beach glass in Santa Fe. Plenty of pottery shards, yet I know this is a delicate topic! LOVE!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jen! I'd love to search for glass on the shores of Lake Michigan one day. If I collected pottery shards like I do glass I might be in a lot of trouble. Luckily, taking glass is actually cleaning the beach.
