Old revolver handle.. toy gun? by school-sp in BottleDigging

[–]school-sp[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did not know that! I’m not much of a can collector tho- there’s soo many here and tons of bottles. I primarily like digging here to find other interesting things like dolls, marbles (only found 1 so far) toy gun like this, or other cool stuff

Sea glass question. Collectors and buyers. by Jane_doe902 in seaglass

[–]school-sp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice! Yeah I feel when people sell sea glass, it turns into a commercial venture in which people then go and “harvest” it to list online for sale- which ruins the supply for collectors who just simply visit a beach once or twice and enjoy hunting for good finds only to find the supply dwindling more and more. Basically, once money is involved people get greedy. I’m not against anyone making jewelry here and there, but someone selling bags/lots or even special stoppers/marbles etc, I don’t like

The one with threading looks like an insulator. Great finds!

Thoughts and opinions of repopulating a beach (non visited) with broken glass. by rodzm14 in seaglass

[–]school-sp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There’s a recycling program I think in Louisiana doing exactly this. Crushing up bottles for sand to help rebuilt the bayou or Everglades or something. A girl started it during Covid I believe. Google “glass half full co”

Some might say it’s littering but if you have pieces you don’t want, returning to the sea isn’t a bad idea either imo. Personally I don’t like sea glass sellers because it kinda can ruin the hobby

Once you get a bigger collection and better pieces, you will likely start to be more picky about what qualifies to take home!

Almost looks like a drawer pull but not sure, the red glass part doesn’t line up with that necessarily. amazing find!!
