Beach Glass Combers

 For those of you who like beachcombing, this might be the site for you. Sarah Goodyear writes about a former trash dump in California has turned into a dream place for those seeking beach glass.

Person after person comes down to the shoreline, picks up a handful of sand, starts sifting though … and then just sits down in place, fixated on the multitude of glistening, rounded fragments, hundreds of pieces in any random sample, thousands within a few inches. You can’t stop looking. What treasure might surface in the next handful? Plenty of people load their pockets with the glass. It’s like a reverse dump, now.
