I've often thought of picking it up and tumbling it, but then I ask myself WHY? Curt

From what I understand the value is in the age of the glass & what nature has done to it. To throw in the tumbler would be devaluing. At least that is what they say! Wouldn't hurt to pick it up & start collecting it. You might find someone who would be interested in what you have!

Curt, check the following link. cash-and-treasures-wiki.travelchannel.com/search/threads/sea%20glass?contains=sea%20glass
This page will give you several additional links to sea glass information. It should answer all of your questions on the subject. Don't try to make your own sea glass in a tumbler. The sea glass experts will spot it in a heartbeat.

rocknrob: There was a shop in Portland, don't know if it's still there called Kenny and Zukes who made the absolute best pastrami sandwiches I have ever had. The problem is every restaurant thinks their sandwich is worth $20 now and seldom makes the grade. Nov 12, 2024 9:53:31 GMT -5

rocknrob: So, to end my thread on sandwiches. If you find your sandwich worthy of that price by all means keep going to that restaurant (chewie)
