Beautiful Beachcombing Treasures! A Stellar Day For Hunting Sea Glass Out On Cape Breton Island!

[@tfialdrin9747]

Based on your culture, is that normal for an adult to peak up rocks rather than working on the job? On other country, they will call you a childish, crazy or weird. I'm not bashing, I'm just curious about your culture..

[@SeaGlassArchaeology]

I absolutely love and appreciate your question so very much! 🧡 I don’t think it’s normal in any culture to do what I do professionally! 💯 (Beach comb & Artistic Expression). Who we are is the sum of each moment, experience & decision of our lives! 💫 Long ago I decided time was too precious to spend working most of my life (as most cultures do) and followed my dreams to a new home, next to the sea & 5000 kilometres from my old “city life”, without a destination but a desire for a more meaningful existence. I totally agree what I do is “crazy” and “weird” however in no way “childish” but “inspiring”, “exciting” and “educational” to the Beachcombing community! 🌅 I’ve self-published a Canadian best selling book on the topic, also had the honours of being key note speaker at Canada’s largest sea glass festival, on top of the cultural anthropology and archaeology featured in my videos and other social media outlets in hopes to enhance the hobby for all! Everyone should follow their dreams, my dream was freedom, I’d never seen Sea glass or a beach in my life before moving here in 2008 however it was in abundance & free to anyone willing to put in the time to seek it out. In 2022 It’s an absolute honour to continuously be part of the international community while I raise my children “free and by the sea” connected to nature as nature intended us to exist on this “still” wonderful world! I definitely notice & understand how “ everyday people” view what I do & understand that I’m nothing more than a scavenger…the worlds happiest “professional” scavenger! (I pay taxes on my bounty! Lol) I really appreciate you watching my video and sharing this comment! Hugs my new friend! 🧡 (Im not sure if you read the “fun facts about me” in the video description, you might enjoy it!)

Have just started collecting from Lake Ontario and loving your content! We had a rain storm this afternoon, then the sun came out. I drove down to the beach and found my first marble! So exciting! I passed a section of the lake and as I passed it, the waves grew stronger and faster and louder, like it was calling me back. I went back and the blue frosted marble washed right up to my foot!

Oh my goodness! Hi there!!!! I am so excited to have finally discovered your channel! I keep smiling and going nuts because in mere minutes, you have been hitting so many high notes for me!!! The pieces you find and choose to keep! The stunning close up pictures added all along! I had no idea grey sea glass could be from old TV screens! Your knowledge of what blob top bottles are and the time period they were made in (I am a crazy bottle collector myself... oddly, I know the round bottomed bottles as "cucumber" bottles and the "torpedo" bottles are more pointed like an amphora)! I adore sea glass and marbles and then.... ta daaa, you found a Collie!!!! My favorite! I have had collies my whole life! Carnival glass is awesome! I especially adore the natural iridescence that occurs on glass due to, as you so wonderfully pointed out, the PH imbalance in the soil or water it was in! Love your enthusiasm throughout! The green marble makes me think of malachite! The yellow glass is so rare! And the lavender one, you probably know this already, was once clear but the manganese in the glass turned it purple over time from its' exposure to the sun! I simply adored your video! Awesome bio! Thank you so much! I have happily subscribed to your channel! Much love from France!!!!

Hi Karyn! I’m not sure how many of my videos you’ve watched however I mentioned in this one (and previously) how I don’t own a camera, tripod or smartphone and record these adventures on a tablet. That being said the piles on our beaches angle like a receding hill making it difficult enough to catch these angles, I’m placing rocks behind my tablet and in front as well in attempts to balance things out. (Which isn’t prolonging the life of my device by any means). Since moving to Cape Breton in 2008 I’ve been making these amazing discoveries and posting them to my Facebook page for almost a decade. With the onset of this pandemic and loss of my way of life (tourism) I I began sharing these adventures to fill the void in my life and can assure you it’s no small task putting these videos out however the love and friendship I’ve received in return makes every hour worth the effort. 🧡 I do my best to provide that first person view and appreciate your desire to see more of this angle however describe my techniques as “human dredging” and when applied properly this technique requires 2 hands making holding the tablet to provide a scraping angle difficult. Hope this helps, thanks for watching!

Mike! Are you saying you are usually the only one at your beach? I find that both awful and wonderful. Having a beach all to myself would be amazing, but sad because beaches are for people to enjoy the beauty and all the treasures washed up by the water. Loved the vid. Happy hunting.

[@SeaGlassArchaeology]

Hi Neesr! This is a tricky question to answer my friend, I’ll do my best to help shed insight. I do encounter individuals and groups on my shoreline (And quite a few more now that I’m posting videos) however please understand my spot is not a “beach” by any means but more a small stretch (150-200 yards) of rocky pebbles which has trapped the rubbish of the surrounding homes discarded by generations past. I reside 15 kilometres from the nearest traffic signal and my street literally turns to dirt and falls into the sea, that being said, people don’t drive through my area and those who do have a vehicle tend to visit areas such as Glacé bay, where there’s an insane amount of rare colours. Or the North side, where beaches harbour all the discards from marine traffic back to the 1700s, not to mention the ferry to Newfoundland where everything was tossed to sea before reaching port. As my spots aren’t beaches they are dangerously slippery and not fit for everyone’s abilities. During warmer summer months plenty of families come to visit and love to explore the shorelines, unfortunately I’ve witnessed multiple instances where paramedics had to come with a flat board (and a small team) to get someone back over the cliffs due to a slip. Many years ago I would tell anyone and everyone of the spots I knew, then someone slipped and broke their jaw, I still to this day never forgave myself and could never share one of the “end of the world” spots I know dotting Cape Breton Island without taking someone first hand. That being said, when someone’s on the beach with me I let them do there thing unless they recognize and approach me, however in this instance the father and daughter were standing underneath rocks (collecting driftwood) when I heard her scream and jumped up. I don’t believe it’s my place to tell anyone how to live however I’ve seen enough of these shorelines come down over the years to not say anything. I’m not sure where you reside, if there is an abundant population however things are very different out this way, especially as I’d lived in big cities until 2008 before trading it all in for a more simple existence.

@@SeaGlassArchaeology Thanks for the info. I hope you stay safe on your excursions. It would be bad if you got into a situation. I know you are careful, but the word IS accident. See you on your next video my friend. ;)

i always wondered how sea glass was made??????????so now i have a question how are marbles made ???????????thanks for sharing your knowledge with us............fan from red oak tx...................

[@SeaGlassArchaeology]

Hi there Andra! 🌅 Great question my friend, I’ll try to explain how marbles are made (without video) as best possible! Hot molten glass is released from the batch by a hopper in between two spinning spiral screws which form the shape of the marble as they descend down the spinning screws! I hope this helps!💫 Sending sunshine and hugs to you in Red Oak my friend!🌅 Hugs! 🧡

[@torhildsagenghansen6074]

The plastic animal is a collie. :)

[@SeaGlassArchaeology]

Many months later…I agree!💫 And absolutely love my little collie! 🧡

[@nanettebarling1222]

Maybe the green marble is malachite?

[@callicordova4066]

There was/is a Vitalis hair tonic.

[@SeaGlassArchaeology]

Thanks so much for letting me know your insight Calli! 🌅 I was able to do a bit of research and absolutely this is an old Vitalis hair tonic bottle! Thanks for enjoying my video adventure! 💫 Hugs! 🧡

The cateye marble looked new and didn't have any wear to it. Seaglass marbles are highly sought after and you find one and just put it in a bag and show no excitement. Then awhile later you find marble that was well worn and then you got excited.

[@SeaGlassArchaeology]

???

[@sharicross547]

I’m sorry people, not meaning to offend anyone, but I just don’t get the attraction to marbles and Seaglass. I guess it’s just like people not getting my attraction to collecting seashells. To each their own. At least I won’t be out there competing with anybody else for the Seaglass. It’s all yours.

[@SeaGlassArchaeology]

No worries Shari! 🌅 While I understand and agree not everything is meant for everyone perhaps I can shed insight into why so many of us are drawn to the shorelines in search of that next awesome find! 💫 Many of us feel a connection to the generations past who once owned these finds we’re recovering. The more history one understands about what they’ve recovered, the more personal the connection we feel. (As examples, a shard matched to an old glass washboard sends my mind back to times before electric machines when doing laundry for a larger family took a team to accomplish, or a shard matched to the 1700s, or earlier sends my imagination back to a time of early North American exploration and settlement). Or it might be how the sea & Mother Nature takes something made by us and discarded foolishly into the sea generations ago and refines it into a well polished gem, one we seem many new possibilities in (creatively). I hope you’re shell collecting adventures go swimming, thanks for giving my video a try! 🧡 Hugs! 🌅

I would love to be there.looking for sea glass

Thanks for letting me know Janice! 🌅 I hope you enjoyed the rest of this adventure! 🧡

[@sandrahamilton6123]

Hi Mike. But off topic of your finds today. But hoping you can help identify a piece I’ve found? But I can’t work out how to attach a photo

[@SeaGlassArchaeology]

Hi there Sandra! 🌅 I love to help whenever possible! Unfortunately KZbin doesn’t facilitate photos as comments...feel free to send an email my way; [e-mail] Or send the photo to my Facebook page via message (the link is pasted in all my video descriptions). Looking forward to seeing your find!

[@darenpitts5662]

Is the glass worth anything money wise????

[@Hmac862Gaming]

Are you in the Nova Scotia sea glass hunters on Facebook? We’re a big community and I think you’d love it if you aren’t in it already! You seem to know a lot too so maybe you could help me identify a find.

[@SeaGlassArchaeology]

Thank you Haley. I appreciate the offer. It’s a pleasure to help enhance the Beachcombing experience with the knowledge I’ve acquired over the years studying glass and its history for pickers across the globe. I’ve just answered your message on my Facebook page. Thanks for sharing your finds with me!

ever find uranium glass?

[@SeaGlassArchaeology]

Great question!🌅 I absolutely do find Uranium glass and have showcased its fluorescence under a black light at the end of many videos! 💫 I even keep a black light at my sea glass shanty as an educational tool for all curious visitors! 🖤

[@user-mf6wg9wo3y]

Would like to watch the rocks instead.

Pretty sad to hear people talk about things 300,000,000 years old. Yall who believe that will wish you had listened to some people.

[@SeaGlassArchaeology]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts my friend, I appreciate everyone’s opinions! 💫 I’d love to hear your thoughts on the dinosaurs if you’ve the time! Hugs!

[@MichiganOutdoorsUnlimited]

@@SeaGlassArchaeology these are the exact kind of conversations I like to have with people. No fighting, it makes it soooo much better. In my opinion, dinosaurs were TOTALLY real at one time but when the flood happened in the Bible, Noah did not get the dinosaurs on the ship. So they all drowned. I am a reformed believer, I would LOVE if you would think about the belief a little. In the afterlife you would not be let down.

[@SeaGlassArchaeology]

I appreciate this so very much and agree this wonderful world is an even better place when we listen with an open mind, heart and ears!☀️ Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and time with me my new friend! 🌅 Love and acceptance transcend belief, I’m grateful we connected! 💫 Hugs! 🧡
