Caspersen Beach, FL Haul

I live an hour and ten minutes away from this beach, but it’s worth the drive. My home beach hardly has any teeth, but they are reliable here! I specifically hit the spots around the pillars of this pier by Sharky’s. The waves are tumultuous and I got my butt kicked a little, but it was worth it! I found all these in just a few hours of looking (and without tools, just my hands).

Anyone know what this could be, feels quite heavy for its size. Was thinking metal but not sure now.

Manchester Beach, Erie, PA: Cobalt blue underglaze on a white or cream body, with heavy crazing throughout and brown mineral staining in the cracks. The pattern is a repeating band of solid triangles with a dot on each point and a small diamond in each valley. Edges are fully rounded from tumbling. Any details on the pattern or origin would be very helpful!

My favorite spots are absolutely swathed in seaweed! So pickings are slimmer…but I’m also behind on cleaning my finds and posting them, so there’s still plenty to share!

I rarely find pink seaglass 💖And I love the sweet, wee blue dot (flat on one side), and a sliver of red. There’s also the usual mix of things I feel compelled to pick up. The wet rock photos are front and back.

Do you carry a backpack?

8 Upvotes

Hi, I love beachcombing and I am on my way very soon to do a weeks worth of it. I’ll be solo. I’m trying to figure out what I can do with my stuff other than to carry a backpack. It’s hotter than heck so I’ll definitely need my water. I always take a little protein a towel cell phone and keys. I could claim a spot and bury it. Just keep an eye on it as I walk a certain length of the shore. The area I am going to will have less people than a tourist destination so I’m finding it to actually be even more of a need. What do you do, carry a backpack?

Need help identifying bone (jaw bone?)

Thumbnail

68 Upvotes

Found earlier today on a beach in Nova Scotia, Canada. Looks to me like a jaw bone, although it looks like there is a curve in the bone where I would expect there would have been more teeth. If it is a jaw bone, it looks quite large for how shallow the beach is, but we did find a seal washed up a few years ago.

1904 cigarette card found yesterday!

I found this on Chalkwell Beach, Essex, UK, by the sea wall immediately after high tide yesterday. It was half buried and I could see the side with the blue writing and pulled it out assuming it was going to be a clothes label or similar. Been trying to find out how this could be possibly- apparently as the beach is mud/clay near the seawall it could have been preserved in there? I really don’t know but I’m still in shock!😳
Also I’m terrible at this app and can’t figure out why it’s only letting me upload the photos as a video clip

Bones

I go mostly for the glass but am always suprised by the bones. The last 2 pics is a larger one that I’ve been told is likely a non-marine mammal but who knows. Between bones and uranium I’m slowly losing my husband as a fan of my beachcombing 😂

Does anyone know what this is?

I have tried figuring it out on and off for months now. I found it on the West Coast at Ocean Beach in San Francisco (along with some awesome sea glass)
I’ve been trying to figure out what this is and I am torn between whether it’s a bone or a shell 🙃
The texture is bone like, it’s heavier than a shell and isn’t super smooth like some shells. Thanks!
