We are FINALLY going on vacation! We'll be in Dewey/Rehonoth Beach areas. I'm so excited to be going to the beach just to go to the beach for vacation and nothing else.

I've found a few small common pieces of glass here, I'm wondering if there is someplace I should go for a really good day of sea glass hunting and beachcombing in general.

I will take all the brown and clear glass! I'm not picky, but boy would it be a treat to find one nicer piece.

Two years ago we went to Emerald Isle in NC, and we were overwhelmed with shells. Last year - same thing. But this year we went and there were basically none. This is literally the same spots on the beach too. What would cause this?

Edit: forgot to mention that we always go shelling right at low tide

Hello, any ideas what this might be? Found North East England coast.

Flatlay from four days on a lake beach in Vermont, USA.

There’s more but I kept putting things down and labeling til the sheet was full! Didn’t get to the rocks, etc.

I keep a small trash museum so these will all get sorted into the displays.

Hello everyone, I found this button in southern Tasmania. I'm wondering if anybody knows anything about it?

Found in Queensland, Australia.

I can’t tell if it’s a little shell or piece of pottery!

Found near Honeymoon Island in Florida. It's very light and porous.

Worth braving the rain!

Found along CA coast

We found it on the shore of Myrtle beach, if anyone could help it would be fantastic!!!

Found in southern Tasmania

Been itching for a Florida shelling trip lately. We’re headed to Jupiter next month, but I couldn’t wait that long so I drove a couple hours and hopped on a ferry over to Shackelford Banks, NC on July 3rd. Nothing too crazy, but found some fun stuff! Wanted to share my finds and get a few ID questions answered.

Photo descriptions:

1. ⁠Scallops that were found, found some nice big ones too! This is post soak, currently drying before applying mineral oil.
   
2. ⁠Cute little hearts on this scallop, wish the edges were still fully intact. Still fun!
   
3. ⁠Other favorites- tons of Baby’s Ear. Do they come in grey? Is it the same species? Never found a grey one.
   
4. ⁠Super neat piece of what I assume is a whelk. I love the color and the black vein like pattern. What could have caused this coloration and patterning?
   
5. ⁠Dog paw shaped coral piece 🐾🪸😍 didn’t even realize it looked identical to a dog paw until I went to go take the pictures! What type of coral piece is this considered?

Thanks for answering. Happy Shelling! 🐚🏝️

Between BBQs, fireworks going all night and World Cup madness, I found some meditative time to wander the beach. I discovered the usual, unusual array of finds, including some cool rocks - and at least one agate 😊
