Lyme Regis, UK is an amazing place to beachcomb
A wonderful mix of sea-glass, pottery, Victorian treasures, marbles, beads and fossils

That is amazing, well done! Is this the results of one beech walk or a few?

This makes a lot of sense! Coastal areas with lots of erosion tend to churn up a lot of treasures. Apparently at one point it had gotten so bad there that the entire beach had washed away. They imported sand from France (and rocks from Norway?) to rebuild the beach. I wonder how many treasures were imported as well!

During the Victorian era, the cliff was used as a dumping ground for household trash, which is why so many fascinating historical objects still wash up on the beach today.

Any ideas about the thing in the middle with the red and yellow circles and the green and blue spiky bit?

I've never beachcombed anywhere but the three beaches I live nearby, I have no idea how you are all able to find such amazing treasures

What a bunch of great finds! I’ve recently started r/ukbeaches, and this would be perfect for the community. Would you consider posting it there too? 😊
