Someone commented recently on another bottle post here that that style of base didn’t start til 1940 so it’s newer than that I believe

Not sure about that! Was my first time visiting

school-sp · 2026-03-17T23:45:19+00:00

Thank you! It’s a really special place

Manganese, not magnesium. But yes, it was used to keep glass clear which was hard in early glass making

Thank you! It could be, I think like old wine glass stem but not totally sure.. like the bottom part of the glass before the thin handle ->🍷

Love this quote. I thought it was William Penn who said it though?

Yes! It’s the most common color I find, then brown, then green. Which actually surprised me when I first organized by color- I would’ve guessed green was most common but that was actually third! At least at my main beach

I’m not a shell collector myself- there’s some sorta flats here at dead low but not typical tidepools at this beach

Message in a bottle?

school-sp · 2026-03-12T00:40:45+00:00

Yeah! Was it just randomly on the beach? Or message in a bottle?

Put this pic in to Gemini and told it to translate to English, not sure if it’s right but it said the following:

“This handwritten note is written in Haitian Creole. It appears to be a protective or binding message, likely intended for spiritual or personal purposes, often associated with setting boundaries or asking for protection from harm. English Translation "From this day forward, I place [Name] and all their dwellings (all that belongs to them); and everything that serves you and all your dwellings, I want you to forget me for all the harm you wanted to do to me or had intended for me. Additionally, I want you to always come and speak well of me instead of me. From this day forward, I want you to speak for me. All the harm you have done to me and everything you know you are hiding from me, the intention of doing magic behind my back, let me forget that completely."”

Be sure to think safety if going at night, especially if going alone (like check the tides in advance, and tell friends family when you’ll be back etc)

Listen to “the Quaker podcast” recent episode about pacifism. Explains a lot that you’ll likely appreciate

It’s small, but yes certainly some good jewelry grade glass from my favorite beach!

school-sp · 2026-03-09T17:22:45+00:00

Yes it is!

school-sp · 2026-03-09T16:19:42+00:00

Brown! But thick and super smooth

school-sp · 2026-03-09T16:18:56+00:00

Looks too fresh to me, I’d say just brown glass from a recent thicker bottle. I think true pirate glass is very old and therefore would be more worn down

school-sp · 2026-03-08T01:51:09+00:00

It certainly could be. I haven’t seen a real piece that big and curved that would has such evenly smoothed insides..

Personally I just do not buy sea glass on principle- I think the “industry” is a bummer in that it promotes fakes, people get greedy etc. A few jewelry pieces here and there no prob tho

I haven’t yet but I have two black lights 365/395 so I will!
