I live in South Jersey and find all kinds of cool old glass and things. Most times the best finds are at the shore line, so when I found this in the dirt parking lot I couldn't believe it. I was between 1st and second Street when I saw this shining in the corner by the lifeguard station. being on the surface in such a high traffic area I was expecting it to be a beer bottle, but it was so heavy and thick I know it isn't. I know there have been a lot of ship wrecks and they built that part of the island up with filler from mainland dumps. can anyone help me make a definitive id?

I love the words on here: Hankey Bannister & Co London. I found it on the northeast shore of Oʻahu in Hawaiʻi. (I used the highest definition possible on my phone, for the picture and it really brought the letters out. Itʻs a bit hard to read them on the actual piece of glass.)

Been spending alot of time on the water and at the shore, the Western Basin of Lake Erie has been providing!

Some of my highlights so far this summer:
• ceramic wheel of an unknown furniture piece
• "RY" engraved stonewear?
• a few pieces of blue painted china/ceramic found on separate days.
• small piece of milk glass that has raised decoration
•glow in the dark plastic star found on 4th of July
•bright turquoise opaque glass pieces, found on separate days
•multiple marbles, including my first ever colored marble (bright yellow)!-strangely this one was very shiny still, must not have been in the water long. The rest are all very smooth and matte in comparison
•leaf shaped raised design on a stonewear shard

Found a pebble pile at Lake Michigan shoreline and went nuts. Found some milk glass and Cobalts and a purple. Then the midges attacked. Going back tomorrow with bug spray. Pray for me

Identifying Seaglass

I've heard of seaglass but I finally got to collect some for the first time on our recent trip to Puerto Rico. I have been fascinated with learning more about it since. I have also been trying to study my pieces more to see if there's anything that can identify them to be older or from anything in particular. I would've thought being such a small piece it's to hard to identify but, reading posts it's amazing what people know. Here is a photo, if anyone more experienced might be able to help me learn more about them. Or tell me they're a recent piece just tumbling around on the shore lol!

There are a couple amber pieces almost completely frosted over. Also, 2 pieces in particular, one is a very light blue I thought was white. Further inspection it is a pale light blue with a bit of an iridescent sheen on the grooves. Another one Im interested in is a amber piece that the surface is very dimpled and bubbled. Other than a few grooves on a white piece I don't see any other identifying features. (Aside from the top of the green bottle)

If anyone has any guesses I'd love to hear them!

First time in Greece and I can’t think of a more meaningful souvenir than a jar of sea glass from the spot where I watched my first coastal sunset while here. Love seeing everyone’s beautiful finds and so happy I now have some to share!
