Odyssey Sea Glass Newsletter - Picturesque Junk - Exciting? February 04, 2014 |
||||||||||||
| Hi, I'm sure that most of us agree that what is junk to some people is picturesque to others. We see this a lot in art today, perhaps in large sculptures made of "junk" metal scraps or in tiny jewelry fashioned from watch parts.  |

Picturesque Junk - Exciting?
All of us would love to stumble on a totally-unknown beach that had been in years long past the site of a dump.
The possibilities for finding rare sea glass and pottery shards increase greatly on beaches that were once dump sites.However, not all dumps are equal. The best (for us seaglassers) are the dumps containing lots of glass.
If we don't live in one of the few areas in the world where glass factories existed next to the ocean, then we hope for the next best - dumps where household trash was once tossed. Trash containing knicknacks, marbles, perfume bottles and other colored glass.
On the other hand, any signs of a dump of any sort is exciting to see on a beach we are exploring for the first time. The most visible old dump sites are old factory dumps containing parts of large heavy machinery.
Although perhaps not the best of dumps, these commercial dumps do present scenic (in a stark modern sense) panoramas.
Here are a few that we have found through friends or our own explorations:
Beach 1 - Washington State
Beach 1 - Washington State
This is a beautiful beach
Beach 2 - Washington State
Well not really too picturesque but it's the only photo I could dig up of this commercial dump.
However, the finds there are exciting, see next photo.
Beach 2 - Washington State
Finds!
Beach 3 - Washington State
Beach 4 - Isolated N. California Beach
