I found a blue piece about 3 inches long and .75ish inch narrow at Margate beach in NJ. My girfriend had it made into a pendant and the lady who did it said she would have charged a few hundred dollars for it had she not been supplied with the glass.... I can't believe the value attached to it!

funny story: I had never looked for sea glass before, so when I found it I naively said "Is this a good one?" ...you should have seen her face!

Wow, are you telling me people pay money for sea glass? I'm rich, I'm rich!!! Hey, I used to visit my sister in the 1970's when she lived in Margate. What wonderful memories. I haven't been to Atlantic City since 1986!

I've owned 2 DeLorean cars (will get a 3rd one of these days), so I've got loads of DeLorean paraphernalia... scale models, dealer brochures, posters, books, magazine advertisements, newspaper clippings, videos, shirts... lots and lots of junk .

I seem to have a small collection of crystal balls going... I'd probably own more if I had more money. Damn things are pricey! That could probably be lumped under the Fleetwood Mac header though, so disregard!

I've got a love for most anything mid-century modern... I have funky mod furniture, flip clocks, lamps, stuff like that. I have a thing for the 1960-1990 time period (hence Fleetwood Mac and the DeLorean), and have a growing vintage clothing stash too. Though I wear it everything, so it's not really a collection at all.

I collect art glass - bowls, vases, vessels, jars, etc. I like all colors, but gravitate more toward cool tones, like blues and purples. I also collect some crystal. And jewelry, if that counts.

My parents and extended family will collect about anything: arrowheads, Fenton, Hummels, teapots, bottles, coins, etc.

Used to collect LPs (amassed about 4,000 of them)...then the industry changed to CD format, so I started collecting CDs (up to close to 4,000 of them, too)...still into CD collecting....a LOT!!

Not "collecting" so much as just "acquiring" (since they're "tools of the trade", I don't really consider that "collecting ")...guitars & guitar gear (including amps & effects)...I want lots of them, but can't afford 'em...at least not unless I win the LOTTO, that is!!

My Top 10 guitar "wish list" (in no order of preference):

Gibson Les Paul Traditional (honeyburst or "iced tea" finish)
Reverend Jetstream HB (tobacco sunburst finish)
Turner-Renaissance RN-6 acoustic/electric
Gibson ES-335 "Fat Neck" (cherry red finish)
Godin 5th Ave Kingpin (conac burst finish)
Fender "Road Worn" Stratocaster (2 tone sunburst finish)
Fender "Road Worn" Telecaster (2 tone sunburst finish)
Alvarez-Yairi WY1K acoustic (natural koa finish)
Gretsch G6120-DSW-R Chet Atkins Relic (orange over gold finish)
Rickenbacker 360-12 (fireglo finish)

For now, in a 10 x 10 storage unit...but, at one point, I had them comfortably fitted into a studio sized apartment.

We just went to the Outer Banks in NC this summer and there are a bunch of stores selling sea glass there.


Margate is my Jersey Shore beach of choice... its very clean, there's decent parking, we get there early and then drive 10 mins up the road to Atlantic City for the rest of the day.
For those who have never been there... it's SO worth it to drive a little down the road if you are staying in AC and want to go to the beach.

Shame they are in storage and not "proudly displayed"

What are the general prices? Does it range in the size of the glass? I can't believe they can get money for this!

Thought it would be interesting to know this about anyone who cares to share.

I've recently begun re-collecting Smurfs.
I collect several different things:

I used to own a 1964 1/2 Ford Mustang... (same year I was born, it was my dream car)... and collect anything Ford Mustang.

Elephants... anything from Elephant statues to Elephant tea pots... my last count of all my Elephants was over 150... They are amazing animals, plus their symbolic meanings too...

Concert Ticket Stubs...

Antique Oil Lamps...

Wind Chimes...

Some Native American Indian artwork...

Shot Glasses...

I really need a bigger house... LOL!!!
