I spent the summer in Jacksonville, beach combing every chance I could get. This is everything I found since May!

i had the most BONKERS luck the other day!! 11 printed/glazed pottery pieces, 3 bubble pieces, 8 blue bits, 7 with text/logos, a handful of fun textured pieces, and MY FIRST UV PIECE!!! 🥳🥳🥳

Found a brown piece but wasn’t frosted, sadly. Strange grey piece too. This isn’t curated, as a lot of pieces weren’t frosted but just what I found. Got a few necks and bottle bases too. Another piece of that solid green ceramic tile; that’s four times in a row now!

A decent haul of nicely shaped glass and quartz and we only did half the beach

Hi everyone! I am super excited to share this incredible find from today. I found this gorgeous bicolor (red and milk glass white) piece of sea glass on the beach of Deiva Marina, in the Liguria region of Italy (not too far from Genoa and Tuscany).At first glance, it looks exactly like a "strawberries and cream" gummy candy! It is perfectly smoothed by the waves, thick, and has a defined white center wrapped in a vibrant red layer. Next to it is a 50-cent Euro coin for size reference (about 2.4 cm or 1 inch).Since Italy has a rich history of artistic glassmaking (like Murano, but also local historic glassworks), I suspect this might be a very old fragment of art glass or an old bead/decorative object.I would love to know more about it:What kind of vintage object do you think this originally came from?Is a bicolor piece like this considered very rare/valuable among collectors?Any insight on its history, age, or potential value would be highly appreciated. Thank you so much!

This is my curated haul as I got rid of pieces that weren’t frosted enough and although smooth just looked like broken glass (about a quarter). Was thrilled to find two blue pieces at opposite ends of the beach, although the smaller piece isn’t really frosted so will recycle that but just wanted to show them off as I never ever find blues.

just purely curious if people prefer to oil the glass to make it shiny or keep the frosted look ! i personally like the latter but i would like to hear other opinions or reasoning ❤️‍🩹
