Sea Glass Found in South America

Here are pictures of the various finds along the coast of South America.  We travelled up from Ushuaia, Argentina at the tip up the west coast, Chile, Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, and Panama, going through the Panama Canal.  I also found  a lot in Ecuador.  More about the trip later!!

Lake Michigan sea glass

As you can read in my other posts, it was really difficult for me to find any sea glass along the western Lake Michigan shores.  We really tried!  But, luckily, a fellow sea glass collector offered some of his stash, so I thought I'd show you a picture. 

Good Luck Sea Glass in Wisconsin

After searching along the Wisconsin Lake Michigan beaches and finding hardly any sea glass, I thought I'd go home with very little.  Surprise!  A Wisconsin sea glass collector contacted me and kindly gave me two full baggies of Lake Michigan sea glass he had found over the years.  This is anothr lucky sea glass story.  I will post pictures soon. Sea glass collectors are often so kind!

Wisconsin and Lake Michigan Sea Glass

So  far I have not found any sea glass, but I did tour a submarine in Manitowoc and had anice cream sundae in Twin Rivers where the sundae was supposedly invented.  Have walked a lot of  beaches.  I have found some plastic and one pretty tile on the beach.   Sea glass is hard to find! I will keep looking!

Yay.  Found a couple of smooth pieces today after a lot of beachcombing.  I will put up pictures soon!

Part III Sea Glass From Around the World- Russia, Uruguay, and Easter Island

I was going through my collection of sea glass the other day, and found a box of amazing finds from Uruguay.  We went there for a day trip from Buenos Aires.  There are lovely old buildings in the Portuguese style.  I found some interesting tiles and a marble at the harbor, stuck them in a baggie, and kind of forgot about them after I stored them.  Now

Tiles and Sea Glass From Rio Plata, Uruguay  (Colonia)

 I think I will create something with them. 

I also found my tiny collection of  sea glass I found on the shores near St. Petersburg, when we visited Catherine's Palace.  I have used some of the glass I found there already in jewelry, but here are a few more.

Lastly, I have a few pieces of sea glass I found near a series of Moai on Easter Island.  Those are the giant statues that face out to the ocean.  I know they are not well tumbled, but still, they are somewhat tumbled by the tides.  Take a look!  There's also a brown tile.

Sea Glass From Around The World - Part 2

As promised, I am adding a few more pictures of sea glass I have found.  These are from California, Ohio, and Greece.  Do you see differences?  The ones I found in Greece are pretty well tumbled, but the ones from Coronado, CA are not.

Sea Glass Journey Around The World -- Part I

As you probably know, I travel all over and beachcomb whenever I can.  I have organized my sea glass finds by country of origin, and so I thought I might take pictures of some of these for you to enjoy.  Sea Glass varies, depending upon the chemistry of the water, the glass, the waves, the sand, etc.  Here are a few photos to start your sea glass journey around the world!

Found In Antarctica,  South Georgia
