Seaglass Hunting

Did a video a few years back about a dude here who is a "professional sea glass picker." Still one of the best characters I've ever met. He just had great line after great line.

scroll down a bit if you get a bunch of gibberish at the top of the page.

To top it off I get to be here

And my guy gets to come with me too.

 

Nice vid RagDoll. You do the editing too?
Classic character. This country needs more resourceful people like this guy. Fock China and all the steeple who could care less.

 

That's gorgeous!say more about it

 

Does it receive the signals from the NSA black helos, arch....?

Nice though.

 

I have 2 of the coke bottles. 1 is a little rough. 1 is perfect. Both are legit seaglass.

 

Thank's Betty

 

No, it get signals from the North Korean EMP satellite.

Thanks for the comp Yankee.

 

Find of a lifetime! Yankee might be right, but I'll show my customer. They'll def get a kick outta of it.

 

Thanks man. I agree. Never thought about selling but everybody has a price ha

 

Arch, that is really nice - a labor of love and a work of art.

One could use a lapidary tumbler, as was suggested; but getting outside, looking for and finding the glass is a big part of the pleasure.
When we lived in California, my wife and I would collect rocks and stones from the beach. Some driftwood too. Much was from the Central Coast region. Lots of polished stones: jade, moonstone, etc. We'd use our tumbler to further polish the stones and even some of the sea glass we found. We still have most of it.

 

Seeing this tread inspired me to get some diamond tipped drills and start doing some sea glass jewelry. My wife does earrings with glass that she wraps with silver wire. I have an antique jeweler's drill press, so we'll "sea" what happens!

 

Any of you haoles ever been here?

 

Once... in college... on 'shrooooooooooms...

 

One mans treasure is another mans garbage.......or vice versa.

 

Thanks, man. Yeah, I shot it, edited it and did the voiceover. Watching it now I should've just ended it at the 3 minute mark, but I my head was so into Sandy devastation at that time. Maybe time for a re-cut. I also wish I could've shot it with a DSLR. Moral of that video was - get a character like that, mic em up and just roooolllll.

 

Where is that anyway, Seldom? Any idea?

 

Somewhere in Callyfornee-way Archy...i think it's called 'Glass Beach' but I could easily be mistaken.

 

I picked up the hobby when I was in Puerto Rico last month, mostly at Corcega. I went to my spot on Assateague the other day and scored big during the low tide. Learning to get your eyes tuned into spotting the glass among all the other shells and debris is the challenge. Once you get that tuned in, you'll find handfuls. It's fun and slightly addicting.

 

my dad found a "mermaids tear" piece. took it to get appraised at a seaglass convention, got an offer for 3500.
