 Beachglassing !
by: Maggy

I have been beachglassing off & on all winter....found lots of treasures.(we had a mild winter)~~~if you dress properly..your good.

I am going to use the big pieces of purple glass for my pond, if you break them in half you will see how beautiful they are..yes ,there is a lot of people traffic on Conneaut.but the waves always bring in more glass.

You meet lots of great people too!

I am really looking foward to a wonderful spring & summer I even found a $20 bill on Walnut Beach last month with my g-friend.

Geneva is a great place too, we find marbles there, (not saying where,lol)

This is a wonderful country we live in!

 Lots of blue and purple
by: Beachcombers

We didn't go to the Conneaut beach, but visited a smaller private beach several miles to the west of Conneaut Beach.

Four of us found probably 200+ small and medium cobalt pieces and simply ignored the hundreds of purple chunks that aren't that pretty and look black when wet.

They were huge, like 8 inches long and two inches in diameter. Too big to carry!

It's definitely cold by the lake, especially with a north wind blowing!

Sounds like the main beaches are picked over! Originally, I thought all these chunks were new-ish, but I'm glad to know it was a GE lightbulb plant many years ago that is the source of all this pretty glass.

What in the world they used purple glass for, I'd love to know! Or cobalt glass, for that matter!

 PURPLE GLASS
by: MAGGY


Purple beach glass is hard to find ~~only if you don't know what it looks like~~believe me it's there..it just looked like black rocks till you pick them up and dry them..after that you know what to look for, you will find many ,many rocks.

 A Reminder
by: David @ Odyssey

According to Wikipedia in regards to using all capital letters:

"With the advent of the internet, all caps in messages became closely identified with "shouting" or attention-seeking behaviour and is considered very rude.

As a result, netiquette generally discourages the use of all caps when posting messages online.

While all caps can be used as an alternative to bolding for a single word or phrase, to express emphasis, repeated use of all caps can be considered "shouting" or irritating."

 Conneaut Township Park
by: vrbell

Went there on Friday and found well over 100 pieces of glass. It is a very pretty beach and we felt it was well worth the trip. Let's face it there is never a bad day at the beach. We will be going back for sure!!! We found purple only in the water and they were small pieces.

 Purple beach glass is all but gone! Conneaut Beach, Ohio
by: Anonymous

We went to this beach and while it was a cute little beach, there wasn't much glass. Saw a few purples, but they were of the smaller variety. No cobalt above a tiny, smaller greens,smaller browns and whites. Busy, busy, day.

 Small Beach, Smaller finds!
by: Anonymous

This is a small, but relatively busy beach, and in 2-3 hours we found very few jewelry grade peices, and cobalt was hard to find and tiny.

 Too many people
by: Anonymous

Went to Conneaut Beach today! There had to be 50+ people looking for sea glass. We were there for hours and only found little tiny pieces.

 Look carefully!
by: Anonymous

There is a wealth of purple glass on this beach, both large and small pieces. It appears to be from an old light bulb factory, as there are pieces of light bulb bases. Look carefully for the large frosted rocks - you can see that they are glass from the characteristic surface texture and any little chips that may reveal the glassy surface! Very fun beach to go to, but try to get there when nobody else is around. Lots of beachcombers frequent this beach.
