Oceans are the most unexplored spaces on our planet. According to National Geographic, more than 80% of the ocean has never been mapped, explored, or even seen by humans. The deep waters are a treasure trove of unique-looking rocks, glass, shells and many more things. That’s why there’s a hobby for people who like searching for unusual items on the seashores – beachcombing.
This time, we’re inviting you to look at some strange and interesting things people have found at the beach. To know more about what kinds of treasures one can find at the beach, Bored Panda reached out to expert mudlarkers Nicole and Craig Lind. They told us more about their hobby and shared some tips for aspiring beachcombers.

This Rock I Found At The Beach When I Was Seven Is Full Of Fossilized Shells
Ann Coffman 2 years ago
I would imagine museums and scientists are knocking at their door.

Craig and Nicole are masters in mudlarking – searching for hidden treasures in sand, stones, mud and rivers. Their hobby started during one of their first dates. Nicole picked up a few pieces of driftwood, a couple of shells and sea glass as reminders of their time together at the beach in Portobello, just outside Edinburgh. “It all started there!” the couple says.
You can follow Craig & Nicole on Youtube, Instagram, etsy, KoFi, where you can learn about the history of the things they find and watch the items be transformed from beach finds into beautiful jewelry – check out Tilia By The Sea to see Nicole’s sea glass jewelry collection.
Beachcombing can be a real treat for history lovers. “Most of the sea glass that you find is around 100 years old – so every little piece has a story to tell,” the Linds tell us. “It is fascinating to think that tiny details on the sea glass and pottery we find can open up a window on history.”

You Never Know What You Will Find When You Pick Up A Shell At Honeymoon Beach, Florida. Little Dude Was Put Safely Back In The Water

I once accidentally sat on an octopus when I was about 8. It was a tiny thing like this and washed up on the rocks. After I stood up I said "I didn't think I would sit on an octopus when I woke up this morning". Cheesy, I know. My family constantly remind about. I'll never live it down haha

Looks like itās been in a fire. Kind of melted. Probably has an interesting story. Maybe the ship burned after a pirate attack. Lol
Some pieces could be storytellers in their own right. “It can be possible to find out where and when these things were made, and, every now and then, we find a piece that tells a much more personal story about the maker, their life and philanthropic works. Of course, some of the stories we uncover are a little darker,” the mudlarkers admit.
Another reason to love beachcombing is the aesthetic element. "It really sparks our creativity – we love the Japanese idea of Wabi Sabi – the beauty in broken and imperfect things – it's why sea glass makes such beautiful jewelry," say Craig and Nicole.
"Plus, it is just amazing to think about how this glass was shaped by countless tides – how it was transformed from a broken bottle into the beautiful gems we find in the sand!"

A Stone I Found At The Beach
So what exactly can people find when beachcombing? Most people just look for pretty rocks and sea glass when they walk around the beach, but real enthusiasts can find some real treasures. “We find all sorts of things – nice and nasty – when we’re beachcombing,” Craig says.
“One of Nicole's most interesting and cherished finds is a 1920s Art Deco Czech-made Christmas cracker charm – it's a sausage dog, but very sea worn and smooth, so more like a sausage than a dog these days, but a very rare and special find.”

After My Polar Plunge This Morning, We Found This Massive Mussel Onshore With 28 Freshwater Pearls Inside In Atwater Beach
Roger9er 2 years ago
A pearl is on average about 7.5 millimeters in diameter. As they get bigger, the price also increases. The value of a pearl is best estimated when you compare it with other pearls. This makes it easier to determine what a particular piece of jewelry is worth. When you look at the shape of a pearl, it is important how round it is. The rounder a pearl, the more it is worth. If the pearl is completely round, its price will be the highest. The color of the pearl can also affect its value. Pearls come in various colors, but pink is the rarest color in which they are seen. If the pearl has this color, it is obviously worth more. Colors that are more common, such as cream, are worth less because they are less rare.
Brittania Kelli 2 years ago
Freshwater pearls don't tend to be the pricier kind. Pearls from the ocean are the more expensive because they are more labour intense, rarer, and then the pearl has to be a perfect sphere, have the right colour and lustre, etc. to demand a high price.

However, these seasoned enthusiasts also enjoy a pretty rock or two – the simpler finds. “Nicole also really loves to find marbles – especially, so-called Codd Marbles,” the Scottish mudlarkers tell us.
“These were used as a kind of stopper, inside bottles, made to withstand the pressure of fizzy drinks. The truly fascinating thing about them is that children used to break these bottles so they could play with the marbles!”
“That was over 100 years ago and we still find these wee treasures on the beach today, though they are now really rare. It’s just amazing to think that the marble you find on a beach was once at the center of a game played by children over 100 years ago!” the couple marvels at the possibilities of the hobby.

Driftwood Art Found At A Local Beach Near My House
Epona 2 years ago (edited)
I hope this won't get interpreted wrong, but it seems like the people who don't get (as in understand) some of these images just scroll to the picture without reading the title of the picture that usually (not always though) describes what the picture is. This title says "driftwood art", suggesting it was posed into something. Like the people who don't watch the whole video on YT or Instagram and then jump to the comments to say/ask something that would have been answered if they read the description or watched the whole video. It's confusing to me. *I'm not trying to be rude, I promise!*

However, not all finds are winners. “I guess plastics are the most obvious nasty thing to find on a beach,” the mudlarkers say. “We’d encourage everyone to pick up and recycle what they can… But even plastic can be a kind of treasure!”
Nicole says she’s been making beach art from the plastic she and Craig find at the beach. “It is really remarkable how you can take something that is so damaging to the environment and transform it into something beautiful that you can hang in your home and take joy from,” she says.
Nicole also thinks of the ecosystems of the places they visit so often. “It's also really rewarding to know that every piece of plastic that I use to make art can no longer do any harm to the wildlife we love to see when we’re off beachcombing.”

Do you feel like beachcombing is starting to grow on you? Craig and Nicole have lots of tips for people who are wanting to get into the hobby of looking for treasures at the beach. “Our first tip would be to check your tide times – both to avoid disappointment and for safety!”
“Also, look out for regular shapes – nature doesn’t make straight lines, so anything like that is probably made by human hands – clay pipe stems, marbles, old tiles, all have regular features!”

"But, again, safety first," Craig and Nicole say. "In some places, the tide can come in near to shore, leaving you stranded on a sandbank! It’s never happened to us, but we know that the coast guards are called out regularly to rescue unwary visitors to a beach in a neighboring town."
Safety is also extremely important when looking for items in the mud. "Stay away from the mud unless you really know what you are doing," the Linds warn us. “"It can be very deep and extremely difficult to get out of without several strong companions and a long rope."

I also found an ammonite double the size and weight of a bowling ball that my dad had to carry about 3 miles back to the car, across one of Dorsetās finest sloping Big Uneven Rock beaches. Great haul that day.
The golden rule less is more can also be applied here. “Beachcombing is fun because there are lots of interesting things to find, so try to take what you really want and not just everything you can see,” Nicole and Craig say.
“That way, there will always be more to find when you come back and there will be things for others to enjoy too. Unless it's plastic, feel free to take as much of that as you can!”

My Wife Found A Starfish On The Beach
Kathryn Baylis 2 years ago
THIS! I used to live at the beach, and beachcomber a lot in the off season after a storm. You ONLY take the ones that are very obviously dead and dried up. You ALWAYS throw the live ones back in the ocean. Same goes for conchs, her it crabs, and any other sea creature thatās still alive. I mean, FFS people.

It's a huge thing in the US. It was born here. I live less than 10 miles from the original stash. And last year the 20th anniversary party was held at Geocaching HQ in Seattle. So yeah, it's big here.

Found The Can Today On The Beach. Checked Online That This Design Is From 1959
Kathryn Baylis 2 years ago (edited)
It has a pull tab, though. Pull tabs were invented in 1959, but werenāt standard until 1962. Coors didnāt have pull tabs until 1963. So itās possible their can design was the same in 1963 as it was in 1959, but the pull tab dates this can from 1963 or later. In 1959, you would still have needed a āchurch keyā style can opener to drink this beer.

AspieGirl88 2 years ago
I don’t have a picture, but I recall when I was in my teens & I went to Portrush beach (in my native Northern Ireland) with my fam & we decided to do some “rock-pooling”. My niece found a couple of little crabs, my nephew found some anemones, but I had the most surprising find of all; I managed to catch a little fish as big as my index finger, with a prickly spine. As per the rules (at least back in those days), we had to take our new aquatic friends to the little place nearby where they take care of the more rare finds within a “touch pool” & show visitors what can be found in our waters. They were thrilled to accept my catch, though I kinda wish I’d been allowed to just let him go again, as perhaps he would’ve preferred freedom, even at the risk of being preyed upon. IDK, though. Not much point in fretting about it, as it happened so long ago (I’m 35 now & I was maybe 16 then). Also, it’s not like they were gonna fry him in batter with a side of chips, vinegar & salt! 🐟😅🤷♀️
