#beachcombing #beachcleanup #recycle One day, one hurricane, 3 beaches and you will not believe what we found. We specifically targeted cleaning up the plastic and wound up finding so much more.
Your welcome, Leone! My father started this with us when we were kids in the early 80’s, we would head down to “Clark’s Pond” and do a cleanup, good times.
Storm is already on its way out, much calmer than predicted. It did give us a bit of a high tide so it dropped some garbage. We go after the plastic particularly and any fishing line. Thanks so much for watching.
Thanks my friend. In some areas I feel like I’m working against the tide, so much garbage to pick up. So I triage and go after the more environmentally dangerous stuff.
I kind of can’t stop myself. There was aTv. show “the detectorists”,I think, and there is a great scene where the obsessed detectorist asks his wife to go for s nice walk and he can’t stop looking for stuff, so funny and a bit nerdy.
Nice pre-storm outing with family. Interesting items. My mom couldn’t resist passing a pay phone without checking for coins. Looking forward for post storm search.
Glad I can show a bit of it to you guys, next vid I’ll show bits of the hometown, lol, (or maybe I’m serious)my parents still live there. Thanks for watching!, Be well.
I dropped in today already, water was high and moving quick. Next week should have some targets showing up. Hope you guys are well. I was a bit more nervous there after seeing the Aquachigger get bit by the rabid beaver!
Hi Matt, that was a great video. Made me laugh. I survived Henri. Could of been a lot worse. Rhode Island took the landfall hit. Prayers for everyone to get all the help everyone needs.Thank you for the video. Later, Joy 🇺🇸❤️
Thanks Joy!, glad you found it funny. The storm really was mild here. After surviving Sandy here, it’s going to take quite a storm to ruffle our feathers here. Thanks for watching. Later!
It is so great that you clean up the beach of all the plastic and junk. Turtles and fish swallow plastic bags thinking they are jellyfish, but i guess you already know that. It is fun watching what you find.
So many little horseshoe crabs washed up. I never saw little ones on our beach… and I don’t recall whole ones. As far as I recall, they were just the tail or just the body. None were huge but I guess medium-sized. As got the indigenous life-forms you found, very rare specimens, indeed, especially the inflatable one. They are usually week-hidden. To see one in the wild state, albeit apparently lifeless, is noteworthy.
The storm was not as bad as expected so I went out all day in it. This week I will do some detecting hoping the high tide moves some sand. Thanks Linda!
I'm sorry for this, I'm an easy coast girl, very homesick right now. Anytime a big storm coming, I'd be on the shore... mudlarking!!! So I'm jealous!!!!! Wow the unique finds can get one very excited!!!! Bravo for the wallet. Looking forward to the next trip 🙏
I am always looking down at the ground for change or some kind of treasure . I save everything that I find out and about and count it at the end of the year. Got that idea from the stealth diggers.
Man, I always enjoy your videos. Relaxing fun, funny, informative, puzzling...and it is so much more! Your channel is one of my "Go To" videos to relax and enjoy some "me time".
I think it’s only a matter of time, lol, I’m there quite often. They were all a bit different pre sandy storm. Maybe we will run into each other in the future, look for the tall goofy guy and that’s me.
What’s going on with all the plastic toys on the beach? And those knives!!!!! 😱 what is WRONG with people?!!! I’ve never seen anything like it 🤦🏻♀️. You’re doing a really good job though. apart from plastic bottles, the only thing I find is discarded fishing tackle and line, and pieces of discarded rope. I use the rope to make collages.
It’s terrible what’s left on the beach, some of it gets lost in the sand but most is just left. I could probably open up a small shop based on what I take off the beach every year.
Thanks so much David, coming all the way from Worcester! I still find this RU-vid ability to connect with people from all over just amazing!!! Thanks for connecting to us. Just surreal.
My beach cleanup is a completely separate trip. We pick up once a week and over the course of the year clear thousands of pounds of plastic, lead, copper, brass, aluminum, etc. but these trips require hazmat gloves, special recycling bags and boots. Unfortunately, it barely makes a dent. So, my treasure hunting trips are left to picking up treasure only, or my bags and pockets would fill up with nothing but garbage.
Great point!!, I always check to see if they have been tagged, unless the corpse is trashed and I do not have my protective gloves. Thanks Phryxe for bringing up a great point.
What beaches did you visit? We have stations before you go on the beach with buckets to pick up trash and plastic in Florida. Why were there so many dead horseshoe crabs and two dead birds? Is there a problem with the water?
Hi Trina!, yes we finally have the garbage and recycling buckets here at our beaches also. I’m searching close to home in this video all throughout the bayshore(Raritan Bay), NJ. The horseshoe crabs are typical for this time of year(not sure why) and the birds occasionally get hit by a rapid growing fox population here. Thanks for watching.
What I leave behind is because I do not have enough baggage to carry it all, but no worries, in the past 20 years I have carried off The beach 100’s of pounds of plastic, copper, tin, aluminum, fishing string, paper, 1000’s of pounds of lead……what you see left behind on one video does not paint a picture of what I have taken off of it.
Hey what are the creatures called that had the stinger looking tail with a shell that were upside down in first part by the pink octopus? The milk glass isn't old carmex lip chapstick comes in it.
The creatures are Horseshoe crabs and mostly of what you are seeing is there discarded shell as they grow a new one…..some of them were the dead carcasses also.
When I do my recycling trips I have to categorize what I am taking each day…. That tells you how much junk is available that I clean up. This wasn’t a plastic bottle day, but there have been many plastic bottle days. I get asked this question often and appreciate the inquiry so I feel it necessary if you have not seen any of the many videos I have done that clean up the beach, I will tell you every year i collect thousands of pounds of garbage off the beach.
Lol, the wallet is on its way back to the owner. Just the cards alone in there would have taken months to replace. Saved the guy quite a bit of trouble.
Hey, why don’t you carry some bags with you whenever you go hunting!?!? For finds, for plastic, for fishing lines and knives etc! It’s common sense! You can’t carry everything in your two hands! And very funny about the bra insert, and pink octopus. You treated it like it was one of our Blue Ringed Octopi ! ❤🦘
Hi Yvonne, I carry a backpack with garbage bags in it and a belt with a large zip up bag. You would be surprised how much I can fit in both. Thanks for watching!!
