Of course I'm just jiving
I picked up buckets full of wind polished agates and jasper chunks just last weekend
My wife will sell it all for nice free cash.

I have a couple pieces of polished glass I picked up over the years.
I kid around and call it an emerald if green, red are rubies and blue are Hope Diamonds

One of the best places we found was the beach right along Santa Claus Ln. Not sure why it collected there so much. And the surf fly fishing along that stretch is good too. Not sure why people consider it a surf spot, its crappy.

Pyro, you said the oranges and blues come from auto tail lights. But they're made of plastic, which ,technically, is not glass. Purty, all the same.

Sorry, you said reds and oranges, not blues.

Beautiful!!!!!

Up in Maine there are mostly only tiny pieces to be found anymore -- to me it looks like you struck gold. Psyched there's someone else out there that enjoys this as much as I do. Please keep sharing your daily catch -- I'll live vicariously! :)

Edit:

When we were kids, we used to equate blue glass as finding "gold" and red as extra special and better than gold. Inevitably someone would wind up mad because someone else found a bigger piece of whatever and a seaweed or jelly fish fight would ensue...or if it got really bad, sand. Fun memories!
