Beachcombing in December

This winter has proven to be a very mild one, in that we simply haven’t received the snowfall that we had the last two years. Which, in my opinion, is all the better for beach-combing! The winter months in BC mean typically stronger tidal surges, and rough water that brings up the treasures from the sea to dump on strategically located beaches along the West Coast.

December 29, 2009 findings

I have my spot that I go to that, like all die-hards, I’m inclined to keep its whereabouts to myself. I’ve been very pleased of late as to the quality of sea-glass that I’ve been able to find. I even found a small lone nugget of cobalt blue glass, which is very rare indeed.
