Beachcombing

Beachcombing is when you visit a beach intending to look for items of interest to you, this could be seaglass, pottery, marbles, bottle stoppers and even trash.

People have been using clay to make objects for domestic use for thousands of years.

Something that many people wonder about is what is pirate glass? There are so many different types and colours of sea glass that it can be difficult to keep up with them all.

The River Thames is a river that flows through southern England, including London.

Frozen Charlotte is a white porcelain doll created in the 18th century in Germany.

The value of seaglass can differ from one person to the next, what one person sees as valuable another won’t. As the saying goes “something is only worth what someone else is willing to pay”

Beachcombing is my absolute favourite pastime, and it’s something that can be done in all weathers. The best time of the year to go beachcombing is actually during the winter months

Many beachcombers come across unusual finds at the beach without even knowing it. Seaglass is an amazing find in itself, but finding a piece of glass that glows under UV light is something extraordinary.

Beachcombing is becoming even more popular as time progresses. People love to walk across beaches for hours on end, collecting all the treasures that lie there waiting to be noticed.
