TONS of Sea glass finds in Maine!

[@johnbowse4693]

My wife and I have at least five pounds of sea glass that we have collected over the past twenty years. Wonderful times combing the beaches and sharing our finds with other beachcombers.

[@cinthiakyser7463]

I love going on your adventures thanks for letting me tag along. My dream trip would be to go beachside around the whole United States and see all of our beaches n how different they are and the shells from each beach

[@felixzapata1402]

The sea glass and the music corresponding with each other is very intriguing ... might go out on my beach and look for sea glass myself tomorrow..l.

[@karenwerthmann850]

Wow Maine is so beautiful and so incredible you found a lot of sea glass and pottery pieces. Thanks very much also for teaching us about the crab shells. Very much enjoy seeing your videos!

Beautiful video! I know I keep saying it...but visiting Maine is a Bucket List item for me! Thank you for taking us with you on this adventure!

[@solaceinshelling6552]

Hi Julianne! I am fairly confident that you'll want to begin planning your second trip to Maine, while you are still on your first trip there :)

Awwww the sea glass how beautiful thanks for a great peaceful walk

[@solaceinshelling6552]

Hi Mitzi, I am glad you enjoyed coming along. Hope to have you on the next adventure too!

Super fun video. Those yellow periwinkles are beautiful! I’m still trying to wrap my head around you trudging through snow to go beachcombing. Glass and shells and beautiful beaches - thanks for taking us along!

[@solaceinshelling6552]

We know it's all worth it for those treasures right? This is why I needed a break to Florida soon after! :)

[@SWFBeachLife]

@@solaceinshelling6552 It's so worth it! And if you dress for it it's not SO bad. I just prefer flip flops over boots - LOL!

[@treasurehuntingscotlandmud9340]

well done on the finds gl&hh😊

[@carolb5434]

Loved your video. I have been going to Maine every summer since I was a little kid. My sisters own a cottage on Higgins beach (not much if any sea glass) we kayak to a tiny island near Higgins and it has a little. Always looking for new places to look while we are there. One time we took the Ferry over to peaks island and found a spot with some sea glass. May I ask what island you took the ferry to. If I went to any of the Casio bay islands would I have luck? I know sea glasses don’t like giving up there secret spots but I hoping you might. If you ever come to Chicago I’ll tell you what beach you can find great glass on Lake Michigan. Thanks and keep putting out fun videos.

[@barbbaines3776]

We have a Summer cottage in Casco Bay and I have NEVER found red sea glass in the 50 years I've been going there. We call the yellow shells "popcorn" shells. Enjoyed this video, can't wait to go back in the Summer.

[@solaceinshelling6552]

Hello Barb! My friend(the sea glass expert in my circle), told me that she has only found a few pieces of red in many years of searching. I love the "popcorn" shells! 😀. Thanks so much for watching!

[@nenishere24]

New sub! The music and your shared delight in hunting those beautiful glass pieces, sold me! I'm currently unable to walk on the sand to hunt, and I miss it so much, so watching is bittersweet! Thank you for the videos! Do you know of a West coast beach combing channel to recommend?

[@Lisa.Sparkman]

You can find West Coast Rockhounding but not so much for shells. I've looked a lot. Living in Oregon I watch a lot of those kind o channels as well.

[@solaceinshelling6552]

Hello friend, I am very happy to provide virtual access to beach adventures whenever you need them! Thank you so much for watching my content!

[@ztag1p]

16:05 looks like an old coke bottle. So cool. Did you know that if you leave white glass exposed to the sun, some pieces will turn lavender and then purple? Glass sitting on the beach in the sun often doesn’t start out purple, but turns purple because of the chemicals used to make the glass. I have several pieces sitting on my (outside) windowsill and some of it is starting to turn.

[@williamthomson638]

I thought the purple horse muscle was pretty. A keeper.

[@dustbunny3824]

Love the sea glass, but I was dying over the shells you were skipping. They may be common to you but they were wow to me.

[@solaceinshelling6552]

Awww, apologies! I have quite a few more adventures from Maine coming up where I will find so many great shells(both common, and uncommon)! Thanks for watching!

[@jeepbostonbeachjunkie2978]

Did you have to kayak to get to these islands in Casco Bay?

[@solaceinshelling6552]

Hello! There are municipal ferries from Portland (Casco Bay Lines), that service many islands here. You may also kayak to these islands as well, however exercise caution as there is a lot of commercial boat traffic and strong currents. Thanks for watching!

[@goodwifeweaver]

Are there particular Casco bay beaches that are the best for sea glass? I'm considering a trip to Maine in April!

[@solaceinshelling6552]

Hello friend, I don't think there is a bad spot to find seaglass near Casco Bay and Portland Harbor. With that said, any of the Casco Bay islands are particularly great for finding seaglass. One of my favorite spots(and also the most accessible), is Peaks Island! Thanks so much for watching!

I liked this video so much I have watched it twice. What do you do with the sea glass? I'm just curious.

[@solaceinshelling6552]

Hello, I am not a huge sea glass collector actually. I have a few pieces of pirate glass I have found in the Caribbean but not a lot more than that. I do have a friend who is quite a big SG enthusiast and she really helped plan this trip! Some Sea glassers use their finds for display or for crafts - thanks for watching(a second time)!

[@chinchujoseph9982]

Hi Do you make crafts with the pieces if seaglass that you find or you just collect them just coz they are beautiful

[@solaceinshelling6552]

Hi Chinchu Joseph! I haven't made any crafts so far...I more or less just collect. I'll be honest though, with sea glass I just particularly enjoy the search!

[@meg2831]

I'll be up in ellsworth visiting family next week. Do you know if any place around that area that is good for sea glass?

[@solaceinshelling6552]

Hello friend! I don't know of any places exactly in that area of Maine where great sea glass could be found, but in general my rule of thumb is to check out small cobblestone beaches where there is medium to slightly heavier wave action. With that said, both sea glassing and shelling can be hit or miss. I hope you find some great treasures, and thanks for watching!

[@meg2831]

@@solaceinshelling6552 yeah it can be hit or miss and I probably won't even have time to go out and look because not everyone in the family likes seaglass hunting but I thought it couldn't hurt to ask. Thank you for replying 😊

[@pbonniejean]

Do you never harvest the surf clams or mussels to make a meal? Im salivating at the sight of them all!

[@solaceinshelling6552]

Hi Bonnie! I actually haven't harvested any of the mollusks before - normally just collect the dead specimens. There's a KZbin channel that I love to watch, called "The Fish Locker" where harvesting is often featured!

[@pbonniejean]

@@solaceinshelling6552 I love that channel! I subscribed some time ago, and I really enjoy his beach picnics. I'm trying to stick to a ketogenic diet, and the seafoods are the best ingredients, in my humble opinion. You live in the Northern Atlantic, and you don't forage the natural bounty?? Incroyable!

Hi Deb! There are many great locations to find sea glass all over the world. Certain places in New England, and in particular, Maine can be awesome for collecting. Thanks for watching and I wish you the best in your hobby!

[@Lisa.Sparkman]

Where exactly is home base for you? Your videos are from everywhere so I don't know exactly where you live.

[@solaceinshelling6552]

Thanks for asking! I am originally from Maine, but live currently in NYC - I spend most of my time between these two places. I have family that lives in Florida, so when I visit I try to bake some shelling into my trip. In the past few years, I have had the opportunity to visit a couple places in the Caribbean as well, and...you guessed it - did some shelling! Many of my videos are filmed over longer periods of time and I plan episodes well in advance. Additionally, when possible, I try to keep the uploads varied and spaced apart so you aren't seeing one location all the time!

I adore your videos and will continue to look forward to what you produce. Please consider changing your intro music. I have to skip through as quickly as possible because it is so anxiety inducing. And I'm not an anxious person. But it is incongruent with the rest of your video style. Not meant to be a criticism but more of a suggestion.
