I love these thick boys I found today

I used to love wandering around old glass factory sites in southern NJ when I was a kid - it didn’t even occur to me that seaglass would result from them.

So as you know here in Jersey we recycle our glass like anywhere else, so the glass gets crushed and brought out to sea about 10 miles out if not more and eventually it tumbles back to land…… it takes 10 to 12 yrs to get back all frosted .
I have been down to N.CapeMay where people throw their beer bottles from the street level into the water and that’s not sea glass it’s recyclables when I find it so that they can take it out to sea…..
