It sure has been fun. I never thought I would find something I like doing almost as much as crappie fishing. I guess the big plus of beach glass picking is that my wife likes to do it, and she doesn't like to fish, and, believe it or not, I actually like to spend time with her. Hahahahahah. We only started picking beach glass this July and from what I have been reading, we've done quite well. So far we have found just over 1000 pieces, with some being quite rare. Just the other day my wife found another complete bottle. After a bit of research I was able to determine that it was made by the Owens-Illinois Glass company in 1964. What was really cool about it is that we picked the same section of lake shore just two days prior and the bottle wasn't there, so it had just was up. Pretty amazing to think that after 52 years it makes it's way to the lake shore in perfect condition, not a chip on it. That same day, on that shoreline, we picked 157 pieces of glass as well with one of them being the rare cobalt blue. Now I guess I have enough to start a few projects with it.
