Lots of “sea glass” in NY, NJ, and PA, from the massive reef of garbage dumped at sea.
Not so much in ME.
Maine is a great place to find agate of various tints on the shore.

People are recycling a lot more, glass is not used in as many containers, its just not used in that form as much any more
Or are they talking about a different sea glass?

Thanks for that info. Never heard of this guy. But I would like to witness his lying “on the hot sun”, as he claims to do in his last sentence.

Does Edgar Allen Beem fancy himself a writer of some sort?

Also, more and more containers are either plastic or aluminum so there is less glass around in general to fall into the ocean, crack, weather, and become sea glass. Bingo. Market forces have made sea glass more rare.

I'll take your word about that.
Btw, this is posted in topic: hobbies. Belittle, yourself.

I hope to find some on Rügen island (Germany) next week. Found about a dozen last summer there. :)

We’ll see what charming affect nature has on plastic. Should be about three thousand years.

Last summer I found a distinct light blue that was glinting in the sun out on a sandbar during low tide. People near were oblivious and I paused briefly to enjoy the moment before walking 15 feet to pick it up.
To: Bigg Red
How would you witness that?

Some people find writing styles to be quaint. ymmv.

Well, the writer’s chances of lying on the sun are no greater than my chances of witnessing his doing such.

Something else I just remembered: I was walking along the shore looking down. When I finally looked up, I saw that I was out a long distance on a sandbar. That's when I saw the light blue sea glass.
Walked a long distance back because I had my iPhone. Happily walked a long distance back, I might add. :)
To: Bigg Red
I would like to witness you witnessing... ;)
