What is Sea Glass? What is Beach Glass? Beach & Sea Glass Jewelry
Want to increase your chances of happening upon some sea glass? Think like a historian. Since glass shards can take decades (or even centuries) to form into smooth, luminous artifacts, hit the beaches near old factories, Colonial-era settlements, or shipwrecks, such as Lake Erie, Pennsylvania; Gloucester, Massachusetts; or Fort Bragg, California, says S. Deacon Ritterbush, Ph.D., the author of The Beachcomber’s Odyssey. You should also have more luck after a storm or during a full moon when strong tides can stir up buried treasures.
