When me and my girlfriend were watching we spotted a piece of green top right at 29:25 😂. Great videos by the way always gets us inspired to go search for treasure.
I appreciate your extra set of eyes Keagan! 🧡 If only I could go back and find it! 🙃 Thanks so much for your kind words and letting me know You enjoy my video adventures! 🌅 Hugs to you both! 🧡
That’s so awesome to hear Teresa!☀️ I might love finding Uranium glass the most & finding an old ceramic shard sends my imagination back to a time before electricity where so many of these shards originated!💫 Thanks for sharing with everyone Teresa! 🧡
12:32 I think a grail piece would be any ultra rare colored sea coin (fully intact bottom of the bottle perfectly frosted), orange, red, yellow, turquoise, dark purple, black/pirate, blue/green teal, any of the hardest colors to find formed into a sea coin. That would be a major grail!
Thanks for sharing your Grail finds with everyone SJD!💫 Those are some amazing treasures you listed!☀️ So many ships went down around Nova Scotia, I know my sea coin is out there somewhere!🙏 Hugs! 🧡
@@SeaGlassArchaeology I look in the Great Lakes, Lake Huron to be specific and there isn’t many grails that come in often, you’ll be lucky if you found more than 20 pieces. I have been looking in Lake Huron since I was 11, I’m 22 now and so for me it’s a bit easier to spot glass even though any sea glass you find in Lake Huron is a rare find. This past weekend I took a trip there and found 2 grails, a perfectly frosted black/pirate glass, as well as a milk/green multi-colored! I was very thrilled when I found those pieces because you definitely don’t come across those here in Michigan often! I have also counted all of my pieces and I have a total of over 2,000 pieces, 98% was found in Michigan and the other 2% was found in ohio. Glass hunting will always be a passion of mine and it puts a smile on my face seeing the joy that it brings everyone else! Happy hunting and I will be sure to stay tuned and root for you so you will get that sea coin!! Happy hunting!!😁

This was one of the most important points of interest of the new world, fought over by the English, French, Spanish & Portuguese, often I imagine explorers standing on my shorelines many centuries ago and know old world treasures lay waiting to be discovered! 💫
Great video Mike! It was so tough to resist watching as soon as it posted but I am glad I did so I could watch now without interruptions. My current "holy grail" beach find would be a great piece of orange seaglass. I've come close by finding some amberina which included red, orange, and yellow all in one, but no true piece of orange in my decades of beachcombing. Looking forward to my first glass stopper find as well.
Orange is definitely a Holy Grail find, I’d have to agree. 💯 Through my experiences, not finding Apothecary stoppers is a good indicator this particular area was not used for discarding rubbish before 1910 ( or for rubbish at all) While I find an eclectic assortment of glass spanning many generations Orange is extremely rare for me as well with the exception of a few tiny orange solid glass bulbs which I believe served on electronic equipment. Thanks so much for taking the time to watch my video. I understand it’s quite long and value your time very much!

Thanks for asking! Not to sound like an old fossil however I’m usually listening to something from my teenaged years of the 90s. Music has always been a guiding beacon and helps me stay focused and grounded. I try to steer from anything too emotional such as ballads or heavy metal. While I could be listening to one of a few dozen artists if I’m on the beach there’s a good chance it’s my “Sublime” playlist....”let the love take over me!”

My pleasure! 🧡
Music & Beachcombing brings kind hearted people together from across the globe! 💫
I would love to find blues teals aquas and turquoise and any big nugget or chunky pieces. I love how they glow on the beach they are so beautiful. Thank you for another great video!!!😄
Hi Daisy! 🌅
I wish everyone had a spot by the sea with great treasures waiting to be discovered! 🙏
Thank you for enjoying this most recent adventure my friend! 🧡
I've been watching your videos and truly enjoy your enthusiasm and explanations about your finds. I also walk my dog along the Lake Ontario shore in NY and am amazed by what I find. Someday I hope to visit Cape Breton Island.
Hi there Mary! 🌅
I’m so glad to hear you have a spot by the water where you get to explore with your doggie and look for treasures!
It’s so nice to spend time in nature, I could imagine you recover some unique finds out your way!🎇
Thanks for letting me know you enjoy my adventures and the passion & knowledge shared!
Hopefully you will make it out this way, it’s North America’s best kept secret! 🧡
Looks like someone lost all their marbles,lol.
Too funny Roseanne! 🧡
My virtual speech for this years “Mermaids tears sea glass festival “ will cover marbles, why some people find so many and others find none & what this says about everyone’s favourite beach!
@@SeaGlassArchaeology That sounds interesting.
Thanks Roseanne! ❤️
I’m honoured to speak at the festival once again albeit this year virtually! 🙏
I hope everyone finds this years presentation as informative as my previous talks! 💫

Nearly took out your camera a couple of times when you were flinging rocks out of the way. Made me gasp. :-o
So true Neesr!
Watching the day back I couldn’t believe how close I was with those rocks....I’d be so sad if I was unable to make videos due to the loss of my tablet!
Thanks for watching my adventure! 🧡
