Share your seaglass nicknames, slang, lingo, fads, etc!

I was going through comments and submissions and reading the one on "What is another name for a sea glass collector?"

There were two good words there, "glass pipers," after the shore birds, and "going glassing," for hunting sea glass.

So I thought I would be interesting to hear what words you have come up with. Add them to the comments below.

Here are some that we use but can't remember where we heard them:

"Cooked." Refers to sea glass that is well frosted due to a long time in the surf. When the sea glass is too "raw," we throw it back to get "cooked" some more.

What is a good word or phrase for the action of bending down to check out an object on the beach?

What do you call the bag or pocket you put your glass in when collecting?

What do you say when you find a super piece on the beach? What do you call that piece, like "Wow, here's a ...."

We are looking forward to seeing this list of "sea glass tech" terms grow over a period of time. Add one now!
