How to Find a Glass Float on the Beach in Lincoln City, Oregon

Lincoln City on the Oregon Coast has an exciting tradition of hiding more than three thousand beautiful blown-glass floats along the beach every year, through their "Finders Keepers" program. If you find one, you can keep it, as the name implies!
In this video, we’ll show you how we found one of these glass floats after a three-day search, and everything you need to know to find your own glass float in this exciting real-world treasure hunt.

The looks of joy and glee on your faces is priceless. :)

[@AdventuresPNW]

Thanks! We were sort of shocked that we actually found one.

[@AdventuresPNW]

I think it's just south of the SW 11th Drive beach access.

Congratulations on your float find! I actually found one of the original/real Japanese floats once in WA, and that one was about the size of a bowling ball. Also super cute sanderlings @4:27. We thought they were plovers at first, but alas

[@AdventuresPNW]

Wow, it’s so cool that you found an authentic Japanese float! They’re really rare. Thanks for letting us know those are sanderlings, too; we didn’t know what kind of bird they were. I agree that they’re really cute 🙂.

Always easy to spot as you walk along the sandy beach, never buried deep in the logs or rocks, a small child or senior citizen can easily see and get to the floats the fairies place on the beautiful beaches of Lincoln City. Never give up looking! I've found two floats in the past few years. They're beautiful and a thrill to find. Glad you enjoyed your beach trip, you found a beauty!

[@AdventuresPNW]

Wow, that’s so fun that you’ve found two of them! Such a great tradition 😊❤️

[@TomsThriftyLife]

beautiful float! looks like you maybe found it in the roads end area? I'm going this weekend in hope to find one.

[@AdventuresPNW]

Very cool, good luck in your search! We did start our search at Roads End, but we actually found our float near the SW 11th Drive beach access.

[@sahandn9]

I'll bring my golden retriever. She can find anything remotely looking like a ball

[@AdventuresPNW]

Haha, great idea! Good luck, and let us know if you find a float!

[@pedrofrancisco2964]

Is that a UFO in the distance at 17 seconds? Lol. Thank you for the video

[@AdventuresPNW]

Haha, thanks! 😀

[@robm.6400]

what time of day did you find the float and what area ! im taking my mom this friday to look for a float !

[@AdventuresPNW]

That sounds like a great trip! We found ours near the SW 11th Drive beach access around 4:30 PM. Good luck in your float search!

[@MichaelGregg-wc2bg]

If you look on the bottom of the float there is a number on it

[@AdventuresPNW]

Yes! Pretty cool to be able to trace the floats to the artists who made them.

[@crafty_gem6563]

They do this on block island too

[@AdventuresPNW]

Ooh, very cool! I didn’t know that!

[@tntxander1]

Siletz is a short i like sill

[@JosePlata]

Siletz the i is pronounced in lower case

[@AdventuresPNW]

Thanks for letting me know! Do you mean it should be pronounced "Sill-etz" instead of "Sile-etz"?

[@JosePlata]

@@AdventuresPNW Like window sill. 'Sill-let's' - And as long as you care thats all that matters. Nice video I watched it all the way through and gave you a like too. Happy you found one thats awesome.

[@AdventuresPNW]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@aaronhallam4445]

My wife and I went looking for floats last week. All we found was a dead human body buried in the sand behind some driftwood.

[@AdventuresPNW]

Woah! I hope you’re joking?

[@aaronhallam4445]

@@AdventuresPNW most definitely not. Look up Lincoln city news for April 7.

[@AdventuresPNW]

Wow, I just did! That must have been terrifying!

[@charbin9682]

I almost fell off of gods thumb once scariest moment of my life

[@AdventuresPNW]
