:usaflag: My Most Interesting Beach Glass Find!!

[Cupajo]

When I take my daily beach combing walk I pick up sea glass as well as other stuff I find scattered along the water and high tide lines.

A couple of days ago I happened to check a recess in some boulders where I have often found various trash after a storm has tossed things up into the boulders.

This was the first time I looked there since the last blow a few days back.

I was startled to find this large serving dish, heavy side down stuck in the sand!

It is frosted in appearance and I cant tell if it is from being washed about out in the water or if it was manufactured that way.

It has no chips or cracks and is pretty heavily made.

There is a mold mark where it was poured that indicates it is of poor quality.

Just to give you an idea of it's size as compared to my 4 gallon beach combing pail.

I am totally mystified about how it may have come to be there and how it got there without being chipped or broken!

My most interesting beach glass find for sure!!

Hi Mikie,

I caught the tail end of low tide and got in the water for a couple of hours of slow hunting.

The wind started kicking up out of the south and small Waves were building as I called it a day.

I wasn't sure how long I would be able to hunt as my rubber gauntlets strap broke and I opted to use the new water-proof "seal-shynz" gloves instead.

I'm sure they'll be fine in the summer, but in 39 degree water my hands got cold fairly fast.

I gotta pick up another pair of gauntlets soon as these 40+ degree days are going to be happening more often and I want to make use of every opportunity.

Today was a day for digging aluminum slaw, 3-quarters, 1-nickle, 2-pennies and a few nails and other odd bits of steel and brass.

The Dual Field was certainly doing its part!

Regards,

CJ
