Traveling Treasure Finder

I am an avid beachcomber and love to share my adventures and treasure finds. Shells, rocks, sea glass, beach glass - I love it all. In addition to the beachcombing, I am an artist and love to make art from my treasures. When I can't be on the beach, I like to take out mmy metal detector to look for buried treasure! Part Mermaid, part Pirate 😊🐚

    They were discovered on the shores of Lake Superior in 2017 so more than likely there's been some illegal dumping of radioactive waste, maybe they've been dumping in the lake for decades and as a result these rocks were contaminated with radiation... glowing rocks don't just appear out of thin air.

    What an awesome adventure. We found our first yooperlite a few years ago than went the next year not finding any. This year, we had lots of luck at Crisp Point Lighthouse. We really like the glow of them. Thanks for sharing. We se the Convoy C8 365nm also. The Petoskey Stone has a good KZread channel also.

    I don't know why some people have to take the fun out of channels like yours. I've had people come after me for my lack of knowledge on things, an I'm just a commenter. I can only go by what I've researched, seen, or heard. I don't mind if someone would put me on the right trail, but don't harass or belittle me. I'm sure you feel the same. Most of the time I just like the way they look or what sentimental value they have to me, thats all. :~)

    Haters hate I guess🤷🏼‍♀️ I try to research things I don't know but sometimes I get it wrong. And, I do a lot of my videos "on the fly" and I sometimes say the wrong thing. I try to fact check when I edit - which is why I put things on the screen if I realize i said something wrong. I just like to share the beauty around us, but some folks want to cut you down. 😞 Thank you for your comments and support - it really means a lot!😊

    It depends on the wind direction, the tide stage, storms out at sea and all sorts of things like luck. My wife and I had pretty good luck two weeks ago on the north end off Ramp 59. The wind was blowing up the beach and the shelling was pretty good north of the ramp about 2 hours or so before low tide. We found 5 intact scotch bonnets in 3 days. along with a number of intact sand dollars and the usual assortment of common shells. It just depends. But it is always beautiful.

    Do you know of places to hunt for sea glass in Maine. Planning a trip there in September!!

  • @TravelingTreasureFinder
    @TravelingTreasureFinderАй бұрын

    So my adventure involved some private land near York. Someone commented that most of Maine's coastline is private. I don't know if that is true or not. I did check out many big beaches and found zero glass. I think that with recycling and increased interest in seaglass, it is much harder to find. I guess I would say that your best bet would be to check near harbors (boat traffic) and check at low tide. Maybe after a storm? Google the coastline to see if you can find any access points that aren't as well traveled. I wish you luck and let me know if you find anything!

    @@TravelingTreasureFinder best to arrive just after the storms and when the waters calmer and easier for rentals to get over, charters. Definitely pack bug spray and water, shade device. But all the best shells that are sold to tourists that are sourced locally are from Portsmouth island. They used to have a vehicle ferry to 4x4 over there but the water is rising too high to do it now. Essentially driving and sitting in saltwater, not very good on the trucks. It’s a really cool feeling to be in a place that’s fading back into the natural cycle after its brief habitation. It’s really wild.
