View attachment 1601373 thats lady liberty directly offshore from my secert dig spot. Ellis island is even closer. Heres what it looks like on the beach. Many condoms, tampons, and drug baggies amongst other trash. Glass and artifacts bubble from the earth here.View attachment 1601374 this is original unfilled coastline in the harbor, hard to find these spots without google earth. Ive been hitting this spot on and off for many years when im moored at this marina. Its a good spot !!View attachment 1601375 the beach is solid rubble and artifacts. Sifting would be much more effective than the metal detecting !!

Think its bad now.Should of seen the river 40 years ago.Yuck.To think we use to catch & eat the crabs from the Hudson
 
photo-959.webp bags of beach glass in an hour !!
 
photo-960.webp lots of aqua colored !!
 
Bart..Do you have a smaller boat w/u ?
 
photo-961.webp whites and pale aquas. I used to leave this beach glass in the past, but now I have 2 buyers for it, one here on t-net. Its against the law to take it in bermuda, parts of California, and some of the carribian. Once someone makes money from something then governments will regulate it. So now I keep every piece thats worthwhile.
 
photo-962.webp browns and greens, harder to see these as they blend in well with the brick and other debri.
 
photo-963.webp some rarer colors, teal, cobalt, sunburnt/laveder, and the ultra rare red !! That red piece is a 20$ bill !! Only found 10-12pieces in my life.
 
Thats some nice glass, what do you do with it.
 
Bart,

A neighbor of ours is originally from Scotland and he has a condo there where he spends his winters. He golfs and his wife picks up beach glass to make earrings, pendants, etc....

Regards + HH

Bill

Dosent quite have the same look from the tumbler. Too perfect looking for the collectors. Oddjob the sea glass is made into jewelry of all sorts and is very popular in the states right now. Sells like hot cakes in the keys.

photo-966.webpphoto-965.webp I cant take many bottles because im living out of my travel bag. I left 2 slicks in a tree in favor of this embossed beauty. I take the smalls because they fit in the bag good. If it were low tide I would have a couple more embossed bottles im sure. The main dump site is in 3 feet of water at low tide. This one is a H K muliford digestive malt extract. Its actually a pretty common bottle. Not worth much, but a beautiful example for me. Lots of embossing.

Yeah I was just wondering because we did not get much of that in the areas I have been to in Europe. But lots of tile fragments and my wife would put those pieces on clay soil pots. Looked pretty cool. That glass I would look great on pots, or small table tops.

Metal detecting finds, copper sheathing, copper mystery item, and other mystery items. Lots of iron here too. With only 1 hour I concentrated on sea glass and turned off the machine.
 
Theres a lifetime of permissions gliding by on both sides of the hudson. Beautiful old mansions and properties on both sides.
 
Thats some nice glass, what do you do with it.

look here Buddy,

some people make Art from this so called "rolled glass".

We call it rolled glass because it comes from the shore and the edges are "rolled" down in the sand and the entire glass is polished down from the waves and sand.
