Just Lying in a Pool

And it's one I didn't already have, so I took it home!!

For monikozi to show how Sue and I find them!!!
So, that's how you get them...

@monikozi it is, or just on the mud!!

I think that the fossicking fairies come out at night and leave more glassware.

So much fun to find this!

I too am bothered by the laziness of those who discard their garbage where ever they choose. Picked up wrappers and plastic cups while trying to be creative yesterday as well.

@wakelys I love this response!
February 6th, 2021  
Amazing!

@randystreat hahaha
@joysabin it's not litter Joy, it's being washed out from the barrier that was put up mid 20th century that's been breached. Each high tide more is washed out, but no idea why it's full of Shippam's paste jars! And so many different designs!! I'll post my collection in the week!!
@jacqbb I know!! I promised Him I wouldn't fossick, but I couldn't help myself
@wakelys I also found an almost complete bottle stopper

You are finding so many interesting ones love this photo of it in its now natural habitat!

Maybe Shippam's paste jars are made of tougher glass than most so they survive better than other glass.

I think I would be down there fossicking too, great finds
February 6th, 2021  
Great find and capture. Is there or was there a Shippams factory somewhere near.

You guys are good spotters

@dutchothotmailcom my posture is appalling, eyes to ground!!
@wendyfrost Chichester was the headquarters about 12 mikes away, I wonder if the donated unwanted, unused glassware to shore up the ( now broken) seawall?
@kjarn it's such fun,
@onewing I'd say the ratio to broken to complete it 1 in 20 to 30. So many are in half or lost their base
@grammyn they may well star in one if next week flash of red treasures next week.

So Iā€™m interested in how you clean these items that you find.

@jb030958 I use a toothbrush, washing up liquid and lots of disinfectant spray!! Some are stained with rust, some have a patina of rainbow colours that I don't scrub too hard on.

I have no idea what I'll do with them all!!
February 7th, 2021  
An old Shippams paste jar, probably contained salmon or crab paste.

@foxes37 I've now got a collection of 6 different styles size and age!! Only two doubles but don't know anyone who'd like to swap!!
