Thanks Krys T!🧡 I take such pride in my designs and care putting each piece together. As my creations come from the heart, and years of experimenting (with piles of failures) Its difficult for me to share, especially as I’m the only one on the planet who makes these. 🌎 For the past week or so I contemplated taking this part out of the video and definitely hope I’m not regretting my decision down the road!💯 I hope you enjoyed the video, I’m happy to see your name in the comments as I missed you last video! Hugs!
I appreciate you sharing your work with us. You can see the care and passion. I got home from work after a kind of stressful busy day, I did some dishes and watched your video as I did them and just left the day behind. :) I will always love the excitement and passion you show in every one. I think we all discovered a one of a kind find when we stumbled upon you. Hugs!
@@SeaGlassArchaeology Don't worry about someone stealing your creations. They are beautiful and unique. And I'm sure there are many who would love to purchase them. Just take a leap of faith. You might be surprised at what blessings come your way!!!
I know how you feel when you said people that copy your creativity, I make sea pottery bracelets with all the tiny pieces, next thing I know, everyone’s making them, as their own ‘personal creations’, never mind, anyway thanks for showing us your wonderful creation, happy digging my friend 😊
I’m so sorry to hear of this.💫 I was thinking I’m crazy to share these starfish however it’s out there now!🙏 I’m sending my love and happy thoughts your way my dear friend! 🧡🧡🧡
Thanks so much for your compliment Leona!🙏 My creative expression comes from within’ & is a reflection of who I am!☀️ That purple is so awesome, I agree!💫 Hugs Leona! 🧡
I love your videos and your passion for sea glass. I love antique glass bottles and have learned so much from you! Asperger's is probably why you are so good at what you do. It's definitely a blessing in disguise. You have found your nitch and that's 99% of the battle! My son also has Asperger's along with a few other things. He is almost 32 and doing well now. It was a long hard road raising him, but he is kind, compassionate and highly intelligent. Despite all the trials and tribulations, we have a great relationship now. 🥰 God bless you and May He be with you on all your adventures!🙏🙏 Thanks so much bringing us along with you!!
Thank you for sharing of yourself with me Nancy!🌅 I can imagine it was difficult raising him (which is why I live alone, I accepted how difficult I am).💯 However I can also understand how kind and compassionate he is! 💯💯💯 Absolutely, finding something we’re passionate about is a key!💫 Thank you for your warm wishes and love Nancy!🙏 Hugs! 🧡
That chunk of beautiful purple was a super find!!!!!💜 Fun day at the beach! Thanks for sharing all the treasures you found! Have a great evening, Mikee!
Hey Mike, another great beach adventure filled with awesome treasures and lots of great info and insights. That huge purple piece (shark fin, as I call that distinctive shape) was a great start to the vid, and it ended with your wonderful artistic creations. They are so awesome. Gotta get one ! Oh, and now I know why its a good idea to pick up those rubber bath plugs ! Thanks heaps for the great work. Cheers mate.
Shark Fin, I love the description and hope it’s the only shark I encounter….although I know they’re are quite a few off shore (not as many as you experience in Australia!).💯 Thanks for your friendship and kind words. Reading the email you sent me absolutely filled me with joy and pride, you’re such an uplifting individual in my life and I appreciate you sharing your time and life with me! 🧡
Thanks so much for your kind words Robi!🧡 It’s been an extremely incredible tourist season, my art has been well received…I miss the beach, making awesome finds, memories, videos and friends! 💫 Hugs!🌅
I had just started reading a book set in Glace Bay and Dominion when up popped your new video. It was tough to resist the temptation to drop my book and head inside to watch right away, haha. I was rewarded for my continued reading though when the main character went beachcombing and found a smooth cobalt blue shard 💙. It was great to get a better look at your amazing purple find you had shared earlier on social media. It has such character! My other favourites from this video were the blue milk glass, the orange marble and the yellow marble, and that fossil. I am a big fan of your sea glass suncatchers and think everyone should treat themselves to one (or more!) to brighten their days. Best of luck with your ko-fi account! it is a great way for folks to show their appreciation for all of the positivity, beauty, and knowledge your videos bring to the world. 🙂
I’d love to hear the title of your book!?! I can’t believe it included sea glass…although sea glass is everywhere! Thanks so much for your compliments and kind words!🧡🙏🧡 I put all my focus and efforts into all my endeavours and am so proud of my creative expression!🤣 I never worry about money (although I should) and really am not sure what it’s all about yet! 🙃
@@SeaGlassArchaeologyThe book is Relative Happiness by Lesley Crewe. I just discovered this author last winter and love that her books are all ooted in Cape Breton. The peacefulness of being on or near the water is always mentioned, and ccasionally is sea glass too. 🙂
I am so glad I could help with the ID of the gutter nail from this and last video. I love your joy in finding each piece of sea glass, I have a large jar, of what I have not used for mirror frames, of sea glass of 20 years of beach combing. The jar still brings me joy and I love to see what you find and make.
I’m so glad you have a jar of sea glass to enjoy Debbie!🧡 It holds such a positive feeling, a connection to nature and tranquility for me!🌊 Thanks again for helping with that identification and enjoying my adventures!🌅 Hugs!🧡
This video just popped into my feed. We have been thinking of you a lot these last few days. We hope you and your family are well after the hurricane. Prayers for you all. If you are all doing well go seaglass hunting!! It’s going to be fabulous after the storm. Please let us know you are ok when things settle down.
Thank you so much for caring! I’m ok, my home wasn’t damaged (many around me were) It’s the end of my 4th day without power, and it’s estimated at least another 5 more days until. Cruise ships are cancelled as well…finally I’ve a free moment (to edit together a video) but no battery life to do so. Knowing you care means so very much to me. Thank you, I look forward to the end of my tourist season, and the beginning of my Beachcombing season more then I ever knew possible! Hugs! 🌅🧡☀️
@@SeaGlassArchaeology we are happy to hear you are safe! Sorry to hear about the long time without power. That is never fun! The silver lining is you have time to catch your breath from working. You take care of yourself and know that we are thinking of you. I am sure your Vlog family is too. Be safe.💕
Awe! ❤️❤️❤️ Thanks so much for your friendship, love and kind words of encouragement Donna! 🙏 I’m so glad you believe in me as an individual with aspirations to leave this planet better then I found it. (I wish everyone could see me on my nature adventures with children!). I wish you could come beachcomb with me! 💫 Thanks so much for this! 🧡
Hi Mike! What a treat to find one of your videos to enjoy with my coffee this morning! As always, I enjoy your unique finds (especially that large piece of purple glass and the fossil), and I always learn something new. I had no idea that soda companies used to sell bags of marbles. How funny! That little orange marble was especially pretty. Thank you for sharing one of your creations. That sea star is just beautiful!! I had no idea that you fuse some of the glass. It really creates a beautiful effect. I'll see you on the next video!
Hey Kim!🌅 I’m so glad you enjoyed me with a cup of coffee! I hope I paired perfectly!💯 It makes me so happy to read your words and know you enjoyed everything!☀️ I never know what I’m going to find and fear sometimes my information becomes repetitive! Hugs! 🧡
I so enjoyed reading about your journey-what a fantastic adventure you are on! I love your videos, the sea is so soothing & I love seeing your finds. I too am left-handed & have been vegetarian for many years.
You’ve brought a smile to me Cheryl!🙂 Thank you so much for your kind words!🙏 It’s such a pleasure for me to share my finds and adventures with you, I’m so glad you enjoy coming along to the beach with me and find the sea soothing as well!🌅 Hugs and happy thoughts Cheryl! 🧡
That's almost my life story. Except, i found myself in making an selling "fairy world" stuff, and that the sea i moved to is much-much warmer. Thank you for sharing your marvellous starfish, it's a precious jewel! ❤️
Love your excitement with each glass piece you find... I feel like I'm right there with you ! Again thanks for the reference to where the glass may have come from I know it takes extra effort and is greatly appreciated... Hello from cape cod 🌈☀️✨🌺
I’m so glad you appreciate my videos and the effort it takes Nancy!☀️ I hope you are making some great sea glass finds out on Cape Cod! 💫 Thanks for making me smile here! 🧡
Hi Mike. Thank you so much for another great trip out. Can't believe how many marbles you find. I love all the info about the history of each piece too. I love your little sea stars. They are beautiful. New sub. 🙂
Hi Cathy! 🧡 Thanks so much for your kind words of positivity and friendship! 🌅 …15 seasons later and I still can’t believe all the marbles and artifacts I recover as well. I’ve published a few videos on how marbles are introduced to the environment if you’re interested. Hugs my newest friend!🧡🧡🧡 I’m so excited for the next opportunity to do some Beachcombing, it’s been a tough go this winter however every day I check the shoreline to sea if it’s poss! 🌊🌬️🌊
Hi Mike,Great video thank you so much for taking us along with you,I think my Favourite was the yellow custard glass that glowed.I am going to st Ives in Cornwall here in the UK,they are sandy beaches there so not too hopeful of finding seaglass but I do want to bring back some small pieces of driftwood to hang the pottery mobile pieces I make from.I know you are a creative soul Mike so I’m going to email you some of my art,hope you don’t mind,I have been painting for a lifetime,in fact it was my job,now I paint for pleasure.Love and hugs.x🤗😘
I’m so glad to read your words and look forward to receiving your email!🌅 When Creative expression is right, it comes from the soul and not another!💯 The custard glass was your favourite? I’m so glad to hear as it definitely was a first for me to share in a video however I’ve found a bit over the years. Hugs Wendy! 🧡
Hola, me encanta como usted se toma el tiempo para explicar de donde sale cada uno de sus hallazgos. me encantan las canicas. Seguire aprendiendo con usted. Puerto Rico, en el Caribe.
Great video!!! That purple is absolutely stunning. I found a purple just like the one you found yesterday- Point Pleasant in Halifax has a plethora of manganese! I also love all the marbles you found! Thank you for sharing this with us! ☀️
I’ve always wanted to visit “Point Plesant” and am so glad you get to hunt there! I thought my find might be Neodymium however it didn’t look blue under a UV spectrum. Did you check yours?
Como siempre, fantástico video Mike y muy bien explicado. Estoy impaciente por ir a la playa y poder encontrar PRECIOSOS cristales de mar aunque en España no hay tanta variedad de colores y con ellos hacer joyas espectaculares. Sigue haciéndome disfrutar. Un saludo.
Tus amables palabras significan mucho para mí Teresa, muchas gracias.🌅 Es un placer compartir mis aventuras contigo, ojalá pudiera visitar tu playa algún día.💫 Abrazo Teresa!🧡
Hi Mike! I am so glad I came across your videos! Also, thanks for sharing your fun facts! I am very impressed with all the details you give while finding that beautiful sea glass. I'd love to learn more and look forward to watching more of your videos! I just moved to the East coast this past October and loving the "Beachcomber" inside me. You have made sea glass hunting a lot more fun and interesting! Thank you so much!
I’m so glad to hear you moved out East and the sea calls to you Tammy! 🌅 Thanks so much for your kind words and letting me know you enjoy my video adventures!☀️ It’s my pleasure to share and make new friends with a similar love for seaside treasure hunting!💫 Hugs Tammy!🧡 I hope you make some great discoveries and have a summer filled with love! 🌅
Awesome fossil and an orange marble. Wow, that star fish is so adorable. Some days I'd love to be a beach bum/hermit, but I can't live without heat or air conditioning so living like you do I can't do. Stay safe and take care.
Wowsers Mike! It was marble mania day for certain. Looks like it was a lovely day up there. Seeing you all bundled up is kind of funny, we've been in the high 90's for days here in Texas. That purple chunk sure is a beauty. Hadn't hear of custard glass before. The blue milk glass is such a pretty color. Quite the exciting day at the beach for you. Well done! Love love love the starfish. I presume you must have a kiln to be able to fuse the glass. Really a lovely piece. Will try to remember to follow up with you regarding other creatures you make. I'm fond of pretty much any and all sea creatures and feel it would be well worth the cost of shipping to have one of your heart felt and hand made creations. Thanks for taking us along once again. Always a pleasure. Be well and take care. K
Marble-mania!☀️ I love it Kyra!🧡 Thanks so much for your kind words with respect to my creative expression! I take such pride and care putting my work together and knowing you enjoy it means so much to me. I have creations all over my house and they truly add colour and joy to every day and window!
I’m in the SF BayArea and we’ve got beaches of old glass! Where are you located, I’m not competing for the glass beaches, gold maybe! 😂👍! I’ve subscribed just now because you love the history of glass! 👌🤙❤️
I love it! 🧡 I’m on Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, Canada! Eh! I have a few friends in the SF/Bay area who find some of the nicest sea glass I’ve ever seen out that way….it’s almost worth as much as gold!….well, maybe not! 🙃 Thanks so much for your friendship and support! 🌅
Wow you had a marble Lou's day. The big purple piece is spectacular. I am so glad that you shared one of your sea glass creations with us. I totally understand about the secrecy of how you make them and that you heart mind and sole is in each wonderful creation. I so enjoy your friendship and knowledge. Hope everyone in the family are doing great. Love all that you do Mike.
Awe, thank you so much for this Daisy May!🧡 I value and appreciate your friendship so very much as well!💯 Thanks for being in my life and coming along on the adventures with me!💫 Your kind words and support fill me with pride! 🌅
Wow! This is one of my favorite hauls of yours! I love all the different vibrant colors. Brennan and I just now got around to watching your video because we've been busy recovering from Covid and then finishing planning our wedding and finally having our wedding! We're in Puerto Rico currently on our Honeymoon. We found a good amount of seaglass today that surprisingly resemble the seaglass we find in washington (flat and thin). My 🥰 husband 🥰 says we will find more bean like seaglass at the other beaches we go to. Thank you for always sharing your finds! We're hoping to be able to make a trip your way when Brennan builds up his PTO after our honeymoon. Oh, also, Brennan says we can't leave Puerto Rico till he finds a seaglass marble. He hasn't found one yet and is pretty determined. Please send some of your marble luck our way! I hope you're doing well.
Awe!☀️ I love being a part of your lives!🧡 With the first cruise ship a few days ago, I met a few beachcombers from Washington and a few that had picked Port Townsend. I thought of you guys!💫 Puerto Rico is something else!💥💥💥 Have you asked on a Facebook page online “where are the best places to go in PR”? I sure am sending my marble vibes and love your way! I’m so happy for your upcoming adventures, to see you guys would be so neat! (However the port wants us to be open 7 days a week throughout tourist season so please don’t make any plans without consulting me!).💯 I’m so glad you enjoyed this adventure. I did as well and was thinking it might be my favourite trip of the season.💫 Thanks for being such great friends and positive people in my life!🙏 Rock on you two! 🌅
@@SeaGlassArchaeology we've looked around on the facebook page to get some ideas. For the first portion of our trip we were staying in Isabella at a resort that was on the beach, next to Aguadilla. Yesterday, we traveled over 2 hours to San Juan. We stopped at the beach across from the capital and seaglass was all along the tide line. Today we are going to Rincon where we will actually be staying right on a beach (our room has ocean view and stairs down to the beach).
Great video!! Did you ever read up on the Amber Room during WW2 ? The Amber Room was a chamber decorated in amber panels backed with gold leaf and mirrors, located in the Catherine Palace of Tsarskoye Selo near Saint Petersburg. Constructed in the 18th century in Prussia, the room was dismantled and eventually disappeared during World War II. Maybe that is a piece! 👌🏻🧡💛 Keep the videos coming! still looking forward to visiting the shop this summer!😊
Hey Krys T! I’m glad you enjoyed this video and unfortunately I’ve not yet read about the Amber room, however will do my research now! My son found that German artifact last fall however an entire room? 🤣
@@SeaGlassArchaeology i remember that find!! Yea the whole room is missing. Lots of theories. It was dismantled and boxed up and shipped abroad. A ship sank and there is speculation that it may be in the ship under water somewhere. Super interesting!
You asked to comment or favorite part of the video, It has to have been 2 things, ok maybe 3. Lol ♡ Fun facts...learning more about yourself..the how's, when's & why's. So very open, honest and personal. Thank you so very much for sharing my friend. ♡ the purple piece of glass ♡ the most favorite...YOU 😉
You’re so sweet Beth! 🧡 It’s fills me with such honour and joy to read your kind words here, thank you!🙏 It’s an absolute pleasure and privilege to share my life with you and have you share your time with me!💯 Knowing I have your friendship and support makes me the richest person I know.💯 I’m sending all my hugs and happy vibes your way!🌅🌅 This makes my everything! 🧡🧡🧡
What a fantastic day at the beach! I lost count of how many marbles you found! Incredible! I had never heard of soda pop marbles! So interesting. The purple piece was also stellar 💜! Your videos are so enjoyable because of your enthusiasm and passion for sea glass! You are so knowledgeable about the history of the glass, and that makes it fascinating. Also, you add the pics of what the glass came from, which is totally amazing! It’s clear to see that this is something you care deeply about, and that’s what makes your videos so enjoyable to watch! I will email you about purchasing one of your creations. The starfish was absolutely stunning! I definitely understand your thoughts on keeping your creative process to yourself. That is how it should be. What a gift you have, and thank you so much for sharing these videos! Take care 🙏❤️! PS- I love that you have a Kofi account, for those of us who would like to thank you for the joy that you bring through this channel!
Your kind words just fill me with joy Ruth!🧡 It’s my absolute pleasure to share my finds and connect with you.🌅 Before I began making videos, I joked to my mom; “I have no friends over the age of ten” And now I feel more love and kindness than I’d ever imagined possible. 💯 Thank you for being such a positive friend in my life! 🙏 Hugs Ruth! 🧡
I am new here, and just love watching you find your sea glass, wondering where you are located? I live in Michigan. I have found a lot of beach glass I know it is so much fun to look for.
Thanks so much for letting me know you’re enjoying my adventures!❤️ I’m on Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, Canada (eh!). I’m so glad you have the joy of beachcombing out your way, it’s such a positive and pleasant pass time, and I know the Great Lakes have some awesome spots as well!🌅 Hugs my new friend! 🧡
As always, thank you for taking us to the beach Mike. My favourite from this episode was that big purple lump. Very pretty. I read in your description of the way you use music in your day to day life, and find the way people enjoy music very interesting. As you can see by my icon I am a guitarist and I love music very much. I have an ABI (acquired brain injury) and pain is one of the many effects of this. When I am in big pain I can camoflague it with music to a degree, and I have read of people who can use music like anesthetic when going for surgery. I love introducing people to new music and if you would ever like to listen to something new just let me know and I will happily send you a list of music that I feel is uplifting or beautiful. All the best to you & yours, G
Hey Graeme!☀️ Music does have a way to regulate the soul. I’m so sorry to read of your ABI. I’m glad music helps to a certain extent. It definitely helps with me. I have a very open mind and perspectives and would give almost anything a chance. 🌅 Feel free to send any suggestions along! 🧡
Sea marbles are quite the enigma Meg!💥 It mostly correlates to generations past & storm sewers draining into the sea.💯 I’m so glad you’re enjoying these sea glass adventures!🌅 I do have a few “non-beach” videos where I explain exclusively where these sea marbles come from if you’d like to learn more. (And if by any chance you’ll be at the PEI sea glass festival this upcoming July, I’ll be giving a speech on them!)☀️ I believe I can attach the links to those videos here below! Hugs Meg! 🧡

Most costal areas have a sea glass festival, they’re huge in California and the upper East Coast United States!🌅 If I had an (electric) vehicle and my children were a bit older I’d take a summer long tour and visit every one! 💫
I would love to be able to share my special finds with you one day, if I could send you pictures I would. One special find was a little glass red shoe and so many more.
