Sea Glass Hunting on the Durham Coast of England

*PLEASE SUBSCRIBE*
I'll show you each beach from Seaham south to Easington. You'll learn the best way to get up and down to each beach, and what kind of sea glass you can find there. If you're taking bikes, you'll see the best paths to take. We found Dragon Eggs, Dragon Glass, Bubbles, Galaxy Glass, and Vulcanized Bottle Stoppers! So if you want to come along on our two-week adventure sea glass hunting to Seaham Beach, Shippersea Bay, Easington Beach and everything in between, then this is the video for you!

There’s so many people picking at seaham now, that finding any large pieces worth picking is very hit or miss.

[@ianjohnboy]

[@BarbaraIngramTravel]

Hahah hi 👋 me again… just a heads up… Easington colliery is a canny rough place…. In fact there’s some streets you could just about buy a house for the price you probably paid for your air bnb 😂😂… last time I was there there was a lot of slides as I was walking past… well scary, also the bay between hawthorn and shippersea is called beacon point bay 🤘

[@TheHappyPicker]

Oh I’m watching while commenting… you have beacon point marked on the map🤦‍♂️ also… that creamy coloured one you have as dragon glass I think is actually opaline glass… and that bit is the biggest most perfect one I’ve seen!! 🥰

[@TheHappyPicker]

And I reckon that dude down on the beach is Paul gammy… known locally as ‘jammy Gammy’ … him and his friends go to some spots they have to absail into!! … that massive dragon egg you found though 🥵🥵🥵 dreams are made of that ! The storm thing… yea I find big lumps at high tide but I find you need a few tides after a storm to just filter everything out and leave the goodies on the top 🤘

[@TheHappyPicker]

Yea… the black truffle has the BEST cake! 😂

[@BarbaraIngramTravel]

I had to laugh at your replies while you watched...very entertaining! 😂 That was not Paul on the beach, but we did look for him during our 2 weeks there, however, we never ran into him. We did meet Andy Iceton, though, and thoroughly enjoyed chatting with him and learning more about the local area. I've been going for about 6 years now, but finally decided to make a video since we never could find any reference info for the area south of Seaham. And the piece I called Dragon Glass (instead of opalescent) was because it had green stripes throughout (hard to see in the picture), so I took the liberty of categorizing it as something a little more special than the regular opalescent. 😉 I do appreciate your knowledge and comments, and thanks for watching!

It's so strange seeing this area through your eyes. Most locals associate the Durham coast with post-industrial depravation so thanks for posting.

[@BarbaraIngramTravel]

I love this comment! I never considered that we bring a different perspective. We love it there because it's quiet and serene and the cliffs are so majestic. So I guess we see it in a different way than someone who's lived there their whole life.

It seems to me as if the multis are getting depleted,so disappointed, because I'm planning to go there this summer,and I'm all the way from South Africa. In 2018 I still could get a few beautiful multis. Hope luck will be on my side again.

[@BarbaraIngramTravel]

Yes, we've seen a dramatic decrease in the past 6 years since we've been going.
