Mar 9, 2010, Search This Site!!!!

We welcome the many sea glass fans that are getting to know us here at Odyssey Sea Glass.

As you know, our aim is to provide as much information we can give as well as getting y'all to contribute your knowledge and experience.

That's why there are currently about 500 pages of sea glass stuff on Odyssey Sea Glass.

There is no way we can keep it in front of you!!!!

So USE THE SEARCH BOX (see top of left column Search/Contents) to find a lot of information that you won't otherwise see.

For example, we just got a nice comment wondering about whether Fort Bragg permits taking of sea glass. I put "bragg" into our search box and came back with 10 pages that talk about it.

One of the pages is a full-blown article with photos and very complete information on legalities of seaglassing there.

But you may never see that article...and many others just as nice unless you do the SEARCH thing!!!

So the 3 rules for finding info on sea glass:

1. Search our site.

2. Search our site.

3. Search our site.

Actually, there's a fourth rule...because there is a lot of info still out there:

4. If it's not found on SEARCH, ask in the Questions section (toward the bottom of the left column).

Thanks, and Happy Hunting...you knowwww what I mean!
