- Beachcombing isn't usually a competitive sport, but what if it was? Today Jenny and I will go head to head to see who can collect the most seaglass in a couple of hours.

Mike: “Of course, it’s only a friendly tournament”
*Cut to Jenny speedily filling her bucket with sea glass like the born champion she is*
Finding a new AS video is like going to a restaurant where you know you love the food, and saying 'surprise me' to the waiter. You never know what random greatness awaiting you 😁
Well said, indeed!
Incredibly well put
Perfectly said!
It really is!
Love this!
Looks like Jenny's a seasoned veteran at this game, her eyes are like laser guided missiles finding that stuff. No doubt she's been seaglass hunting since being a kid.
Jenny's quiet chuckle at your loss was a perfect capper to this episode. This was a lovely day out!
"It's definitely better eyesight and nimble fingers", he says as he keeps stopping to point at everything but sea glass, and keeps commentating :D This was lovely to watch, I'm glad you both had a nice time! Thank you, Mike!
Who the hell is Mike? His name is Shrimp
Upon seeing the title of the video, I had at first thought that you were taking part in Charmouth's yearly 'Competitive Seaglass hunt', which I without a doubt believed would be a thing. Perhaps upon seeing you and Jenny competeting in such, will inspire your fellowmen to step up, thus getting the ball rolling!
I thought it was real too. It does sound like something they would have in Britain. LOL
@@kerim.peardon5551 Well considering that in England UK they have have a Spring Bank Holiday at Cooper's Hill, near Gloucester in England UK, which they roll cheese wheels down a hill and chase after it ! Not surprising you would think this would be a thing !
@@mikethedigitaldoctorjarvisa seaglass hunt sounds infinitely safer competition than the cheese chase 😂
@@Siobhan_Shivaun 🤣Yes much safer !
@@mikethedigitaldoctorjarvis And there's a village--I think in Wales--where everyone goes on parade around the outskirts of the village carrying a young lad and they bounce his bottom on every rock that delineates the boundaries of the village. That's been going on every year as far back as there are records--to some time in the middle ages, at least.
Rock bouncing, cheese rolling--like you said, why wouldn't beach glass picking-up not also be a thing?
It was nice to see Jenny get involved in this video. I know she's not as comfortable infront of the camera as you are, but when she makes an appearance it always is welcome. Thank you for this fun little video, and good job finding so much sea glass!
I do wonder how she feels behind the camera instead.
Always love it when Jenny gets involved. Hope you guys had a great time
I live about 400m from a pebble beach, and have never been beachcombing. After watching this video, I will be rectifying that this weekend
Good luck.
Well done Jenny! You should make some type of trophy or prize for her out of the sea glass so she can forever rub her victory in your face. :)
The little gestures highlight how amazing your relationship is. In a friendly competition your still pointing out good places for her to look and all the while just enjoying each others company. Really an inspiration. Thank you.
Just remember Jenny: It's not the taking part, it's the winning that counts.
😅
I usually do not enjoy watching sports, not even the olympics. But I really like the seaglass olympics, they were very interesting and so calming!
Congratulations to Jenny for winning the gold medal! A well deserved title 🥇🤗
Was lovely seeing Jenny joining in with some fun and well done Jenny on winning we all know Jenny would win as her bucket was half filled before Shrimp even got started 😂 you could hear the glass dropping.
Ooh I smell a seaglass project video up and coming 😊
My wife no longer considers amber seaglass a treasure as it is quite common where i fossick, I put it around potted plants as a decoration. Blue is rare and black is hard to find and identify as seaglass, like that dark green you found. The rarest for me is red, I only have one piece.
What a wonderfully wholesome island in the ocean of the internet your channel is Mike.
it really is, where else can you just watch a man and his wife look for glass on a beach just because, he really has a joy for life that is infectious and inspiring... 'blue is a special kind of treasure' for something that most people wouldn't even notice, there is beauty in even the smallest things
Watching these videos is like a meditation. I feel my mind just slow down and relax while you walk us through these places, sharing knowledge on things most peope wouldn't look twice at.
Lovely video! The waves, the crunching sounds under the feet, the gentle voices, the small jokes all make this a relaxing video to enjoy at the end of the day. And I won't say no to a split screen of both just hunting with or without explanation 😁
That is an absolutely gorgeous beach. And so many beautiful rocks and glass bits. My container would have definitely been full of rocks-- probably many that would interest no one else, haha. Thanks to you both for sharing that beautiful excursion!
Nothing could have made me happier today than a new Atomic Shrimp video! I hope everyone is doing well and having the best day they possibly can.
Poor little Eva, hope she had a good run round later that day! Petition for more Eva content please Shrimp. Perhaps you could do a cooking experiment which involves cooking her a special dog-friendly meal?
Thank you for taking us with you. I don't live near the sea which is sad. I dream about visiting the UK and go to a sea glass beach. This is the closest I will get, so thank you a lot ♡
Just love to see you guys! Your doggo Eva is going to bark at you well for having the ice cream without her!! 😆
This video made me tear up of pure happiness!! You two are a joy to watch :D
I had to read the title twice. Thought it said " seagull" hunting 😅😂😅
Sounds like an extreme beach sport 😂
😂
I did the same! Lol
@@KirstyTube I know right! I was like " the UKs seagull population must REALLY be out of control! They've got hunting season for them??" Being an American who's suffered repeatedly from seagull assault and muggings, I almost applauded 😂
I cant totally Mike doing seagull hunting - but in picture form
This is the kind of thing that makes me want to get married someday. Having a little friendly competition with your wife in something that doesn't really matter in the grand scheme but is fun and gets you both out of the house and in nature for a while. That so nice.
You'll have to visit Michigan for some rock hunting someday. The Upper Peninsula has beautiful rocky beaches, lighthouses, waterfalls, and forests. I imagine you would really enjoy it.
Yeah! I watch the Michigan Rocks channel on YT. Jealous of your pretty pebbles and Petoskey stones
What a lovely competition idea! I have a feeling that collected glass will be used in some awesome and random new project 😁
The glass is likely from the 2008 landslip between Lyme and Charmouth - it cut through an old rubbish tip and there were many glass bottles in there.
It's lovely to see Jenny participate in the video and see her lovely smiling face!
16:35 Jenny has more fingers? 😄
In all seriousness, this is great. You're gamefying cleanup of the beach. I bet even children would be into this.
I came back to this video to tell you that for the first time in my life, I got to actually find sea glass! All it took was... going to Japan! We visited Kii-Katsuura (absolutely beautiful place) and there was not only sea glass, but... sea porcelain?? Lots of rounded and smoothed bits of dishes and tiles along with thousands of unbroken shells. It was like a dream come true! Now I want to go find more!
I'm watching this in the lead up to 4th of July and the fireworks are going wild. My dog is very upset at it. But the sound of you sifting through rocks is oddly good at covering the pops and crackles of fireworks, making her at least a skoosh calmer while I'm watching this. Thank you!
We always comb for glass when we go to the beach whilst the kids are playing, usually at Southwold in Norfolk. I think you'd found more than we do in 20 visits and after a few years looking, blue still evades us! One day:)
jenny cam is a more methodical way of finding glass then mike cam
From the moment you said "Jenny's found a bit already" I could feel that she was in it to win! 1:56
I’ve holidayed in Dorset for most of the past 20 years. Sadly unable to drive all that way from Sussex this year but watching you do one of my favourite activities on my favourite beach was really nice. Thank you Mr Shrimp
There are no loosers when ice cream is involved.
It’s always so nice to see you and Jenny together is so holesome
Nice of Jenny to allow it to be close… ish. Very sweet day out and a lovely video. Those blue pieces you found were awesome.
Lovely to actually see you have a go at filming Jenny and to see you briefly at the end. Looking forward to your next project with sea glass Mike; I enjoyed your lamp/lantern shade that you made.
Another fantastic video Mike!!
Lovely to see Jenny getting more involved ❤
Looking forward to what you guys are actually going to do with your seaglass.
Your videos are like a breath of fresh air and so relaxing, sense of humor you have is infectious
Sometimes it's not whose money buys the ice creams, but who actually performs the act of buying the ice cream.
Another wonderful video, thanks! I really think your videos have a positive therapeutic value on my mind!
So great to have more Jenny . Competitive sea glass finding is very wholesome.. greetings to Jenny by the way
Jenny seems so lovely! It was fun to see her competitive streak in this one! It would be cool if she ever felt like participating more in a video - maybe a bit of 'behind the scenes of Mike's antics' type thing? Absolutely understandable if she doesn't want to be a bigger part of the channel though!
Lovely to see Jenny in this video. Team Shrimp did an excellent job of picking up seaglass and now I am most interested to see what you make with it. Here in Tasmania, on King Island, they have a glass recycling plant and they turn all of the islands bottles and other glass into a product that is used for mulch. I am guessing you will both come up with a far more interesting way to value add that sea glass. You could always use it to decorate some terracotta pots for future garden use mosaic style. Whatever you both choose to do with your haul, well done on cleaning up the beach :)
What a great idea & I hope you both had fun and will enjoy seeing what you make 🤗👍Thanks Mike n Jenny 😀
That was about the most wholesome fun video that I've seen in a long time. So now you've inspired me to take a trip to the beach and collect some sea glass.... plus any other rubbish along the way!
That looked like a fun day out! Always enjoy seeing your uploads.
The sound of the sea really added to this - so relaxing
I really enjoy your videos. You teach the viewers so much every time! Thanks so much for sharing!❤
The temptation to reach out and sift through pebbles on my screen is strong in this video
What a lovely video.I thoroughly enjoyed that! :) Thank you.
In my youth, I amassed a collection of about 4 dozen beach washed marbles. I was also collecting bottle necks to use as beads in macrame plant-hangers back in the '70's. It was an old dumpsite, too.
I absolutely love seeing Jenny in your videos, it brings a sad but beautiful moment to me as she reminds me so much of my late Mother in Law, Sonja, she looks and sounds exactly like her! So the odd little moments of Jenny are special! You are a truly humble couple and i love your content! its like tuning in every week to see your grand parents, sadly ive lost all mine, keep up the good work Mr Shrimp! and i cant forget little Eva! she's a little spirit who loves life! 😊
The outdoor themed videos on this channel make me want to be more observant and look harder at things next time I'm out!
Jenny is obviously a better caveman, she started using stones as a digging tools almost immediately.
This was such a fun video!! You and Jenny had a supremely lovely day and it was sweet of you to bring us along. Much love!!❤
I love that we are seeing more of Jenny. What a fun competition!
I was only listening until Jenny’s part, and I didn’t realize that when you said “chunks” you _meant_ it. I don’t look for sea glass often, but when I have, I’ve never seen such big pieces!
When I was a little kid I liked searching for "translucent rocks" (usually brown) when my parents took me to the park. It never occurred to me until seeing your seaglass videos that those "rocks" were probably actually glass, carried along with (actual) rocks and sand from a beach.
It’s great fun to see the difference between your techniques!
This brings a memory of searching for beach glass (as I learned to call it) on Fire Island with my mother some 50 years ago. She took all the glass that we collected and put it into a clear glass lamp base. It made a very attractive side lamp in our living room.
YES your Dear Lady has a different way of looking more checking in one area at a time. A very strong way of searching.
Good for her.
A few years ago Dad and I were doing the NC500 with a small group tour. Our guide Emily is from Lybster. She took us down to the harbor there to look for "jewels " and eat ice-cream. It was the most fun coffee stop of the tour! Excellent gravel beach with lots of different colors of glass to find. And the ice-cream was also nice. Beach combing is excellent fun. Thanks for taking us along to your Olympics!
You both did a great job, but Jenny was definitely more focused on the win. Well deserved!
Congrats on winning Jenny! Congrats on doing well too Mike!
Maybe you could make some jewellery/photo frames/little trinket boxes with the seaglass? 🤔
That was really entertaining! Enjoyed that immensely! 😊
Thank you for this delightful treat of a video ❤. One of these days I gotta go to a beach to collect some sea glass as well.
This was so fun! Loved Jenny cam, I was rooting for her the entire time :D
What a lovely way to spend a day!
A rare treat: Jenny-Cam!
Another engaging video Mike, thank you. My partner and I love to have our breakfast watching your content. It's a good start to the day.
Nice to see Jenny on camera 🙂 Keep up the good work Mr. Shrimp! 👍🏻👍🏻
Love this video. Mr and Mrs Shrimp doing something together that they are enjoying and winning at life.
Always fun! Thank you! 😎🔍
Lovely stuff, great vid 😊
Delightful as always!
Well done Jenny 🎉
My partner and I at the same time: "JENNY CAM!!!!"
I like Jenny's hat.
congratz to Jenny for her decisive victory.
At the beginning I wanted to comment about also getting Jenny a camera - glad it happened.
It’s so nice to see Jenny appearing more in your videos! You are such a lovely couple ❤️
Thoroughly, a lovely respite during my work day!
Thanks Mike and Jenny. Envying that ice cream!
Woooo go Jenny ! lovely to see Mrs Shrimp today
I'd never have believed something like this could be so engrossing - I love beaches and looking for cool shells or fossils, never realised this was there too.
I figured sea-glass was a naturally occurring form of silica…it’s kind of mind blowing that there’s enough glass litter in the ocean to make “sea-glass” a collectible item.
now to see what he makes with all this sea glass... maybe more stained glass stuff? possibly?? great stuff, man!!
What a fun video. I enjoyed seeing the POV of both of you! ❤ from Texas
What a nice haul of sea glass! I'm really looking forward to the future project, whenever that happens. What a splendid array of very interesting rocks! The nice rocks are my thing. I don't guess you're supposed to take them though. I would be tempted to pinch a couple of them.
M&J I loved that, so elusive on many beaches but common on others. Mike you did lose BUT got the blue little bits! Thank you for transporting me to the beach once again both of you 🙂
Simply lovely I really enjoyed that very relaxing to watch
Such fun. Love beachcombing, and have been a seaglass lover/collector for over 30 years. (Plus all the other treasures that nestle down in the sand and rocks.)
Lovely place for glass hunting. I knew Jenny would win.
fun video! send Jenny my regards. I know she doesn't like to be on camera much - which is fine, she has that right - but it does make her appearances a real treat! it was very fun to watch you two have fun together, and I hope you can make something fun from all that sea glass. 🎉
Lovely! I went way back (2016) to the same beach but for fossils, next time I'll be on the lookout for sea glass too. We don't really get that on the beaches here.
Love this video with both of you doing a competition.
I love seaglass. Looking forward to seeing what you do with it all. Congrats Jenny! 😊 💎
