Pottery shards

Bonfire glass

Pieces of blue sea glass, a piece of coral, ceramic insulator, teeth & piece of Coke bottle

High Island again was a treasure trove of stuff from pottery shards, bonfire glass, 300+ pieces of sea glass to ceramic insulator, teeth from a mammal of some kind ?, an intact sand dollar, a pretty piece of a Coke bottle and some pieces of blues.

I did not take any pics of the clear & many shades of green glass.

High Island, Texas, Sea Glass

The Gulf gave up her bounty!!! My best trip ever!! I was down there for 2 days..July 29th & 30th. GORGEOUS pieces, over 400!! I'm still on cloud 9. Found 12 blues, a huge amethyst piece, LOTS of clear & different shades of green, and of course, a cazillion pieces of browns. And the Crown Jewel, a marble!! All the pieces I keep are heavily frosted with the rounded edges. There are "hundreds" of pieces of what I call "fresh glass" (none or very little frosting). I don't even bother bending over to pick them up..I'm 5'10"..it's a LONG way to the ground. Found 8 pieces of pottery, some very pretty coke pieces & a clear Dr. Pepper piece. I thought Dr. Pepper bottles were green? Also, 4 bonfire pieces, 2 green and 2 clear. You can actually see the sand around parts of each piece that has melted. Very pretty and unusual. Also found 2 hamburger seed pods. I am trying to send a pic, but I'm doing something wrong. I will get my daughter to help when they get back from vacation in a few days.

All right! Be sure to send the pics when she gets it figured out! (David at Odyssey)

High Island, TX Sea Glass

Just returned 7-11-10 from High Island after a day looking for sea glass & other interesting stuff. The road from High Island to Galveston had been closed for a couple of days after the hurricane in the gulf due to water over the road. I got down there 2 days after the road had opened back up. All the sand etc., had been pushed off the road into piles. I was trying to imagine how many thousands of pieces of sea glass had been covered up!! I found over 300 pieces in a matter of 4 hrs., very heavily frosted pieces that are simply beautiful. I found the most common colors, shades of green, brown & clear. The crown jewel was 3 pieces of blue, 1 pink & 1 purple. I have found blues down there but NEVER a pink or a purple...I was elated!!!! The sad part about this is there is now OIL (YUCK) in small spots on the beach thanks to BP.
