Glass Floats were used years ago for flotation on foreign high seas drift nets. They were replaced in the early 70's with plastic and Styrofoam floats.
Thank you for that, had my question all lined up. Amazing that there are so many intact. Great lesson for the day. Thank you and Gertie! Follow up, just read your website 🐶💔Gertie
I had no idea why this was in my recommendation feed but I'm very glad it was! Im down on the south coast of Australia, i love beachcombing . The best treasures to find here are paper nautilus, if you know how to look. One time i found dozens blown up behind the dunes ( they are very light and don't last long unlike these floats). It was a great day!
When I was in Okinawa I found two glass balls the size of basketballs (one still had the netting around it). I also found several glass roller pin floats and of course many of the smaller ones you show here. Good times...and I still have them all.
We found one wedged in the rocks of a tide pool near Hilo. Stuck tight! My hubby worked it and turned it patiently, and managed to free it. It is a real treasure to us!
What a great video....Nothing wrong with the wind blowing, Sir! Gives you that kind of feeling you are out there as well....Great finds! Never knew too much about them. I just did a quick Google Search and some of them can be really old! Love it. Thanks for sharing your adventure. Good luck and happy hunting. Greetings from Canada.🇨🇦👍🏼🙏🏼🍀P.S. I love your loyal buddy you have with you!😍
Thank you for a great video. I sold thousands of glass floats over the years. A few as big as 17 inch diameter, more around 5 inch dia. From Austria, Germany, Portugal, England, USA (yep), India, Japan Korea, Phillipines (very dark blue) CCCP (RUSSIA), and China. The Japanese glass floats are the most common followed by Korean and Japanese. Here in the Bahamas they have been collecting them for nearly 100 years. Thanks again, I forwarded this to my bush pilot nephu in Alaska.
I grew up on the Oregon Coast (Manzanita) where my grandfather owned the only Tavern in town. Back in the late 60s and early 70s my grandmother and her friend picked up over a 1000 glass balls. The majority were large from soccerball size to beachball size. A few large and small rolling pins and one really nice half full water ball. We had over 300 hanging in our tav. They were getting pretty hard to find when I was growing up I found about 5 smalls and that was it. I remember how I found my first one after a big storm in the 4th grade. I went out the next day and all I found was a headless corpse that drifted in that morning. lol! Those were the days. You would have to be really lucky to find any these days. Our tavern was the San-Dune Tav my grandfather was Bud Kretsinger. Be safe and good hunting to you.
What a beautiful day you have for beach combing! Your dog is so cute and I wanna hug her. I hope you brought a nice feed with you so you can have a good boil up. That’s the life! Tfs
I had no idea there were still so many of those! Didn't they stop using glass ones a long time ago? They used to wash up on the Oregon coast in the 1950s, probably for many years, and my grandma had some. Nice video, thanks for sharing it!
I seem to have watched the whole catalog today! I would love to be out there, seeing and finding them myself, but watching these videos is probably as close as I will get. Definitely putting an order in! You have a fan, both of the antiques and of the cool Alaska footage!
It's amazing they're still in one piece. I love them. So much washes up on that beach, amazing and sad. Cool video, thank you for sharing, I subscribed 😁👍🏼🇳🇿
Hi Elizabeth That was one of the first videos I made. There are several more that I did a lot better on concerning wind noise. Thanks for your comment. Paul
Great video, thanks for sharing your day. I used to see these floating out at sea carried by currents from the far east. lots north of Midway all the way to Japan. This was in the 50's .
Those glass floats are beautiful. Here on the New England coast we don't get anything washing up on the beaches except some trash. Thanks for the video!
Those are great to find. Years ago my husband and I were living 1/2block from the ocean. We found a hatch cover from a cargo ship. It was soaked with sea water and we carried it home to dry out. It was ver heavy. Once it dried out we took it to someone who fiberglassed it and made Legs for it. It still have it, fairly decent piece of furniture
That was very interesting. As you said the beach area floats were mostly visible but the marsh ones were hidden. I live near the Atlantic ocean. When I go there to collect beach treasures I like to check the high wrack line first. I use a reacher (due to back problems) to uncover the goodies underneath the weeds and grass. It’s amazing what can be found,if you take the time to look. Thank you for sharing such an interesting beachcomb adventure. Blessings
Wind noise just gives it character and authenticity. I looked for floats for thirty years out on the Ozette, WA loop. Finally found one 5 years ago. It was actually impaled on a nail in a log so it has a small hole in it. My wife keeps wanting to throw it out but it means a lot for all those years looking. But did I did not find it on the loop. I camped out one weekend for Thanks giving, and found it while walking south towards the Norwegian Memorial. What a lucky find after all those years. Wish I could fly into a beach like this. I could buy them in stores, but it means a lot more to find them. Nice vid. The hound is the best part.
I'm from that area and I've always wondered how hard it would be to find one these days. I've hiked the Ozette loop and from the Hoh river mouth to third beach but I never took the time to look in the thick driftwood collections. Sadly I think someone would have to go quite a ways into the backcountry to have a chance to find one with the recent explosion in tourism and diminishing returns. My most unique find is a pistol grip I found earlier this year. I'm bummed I didn't pick it up
@@matthewlarson738 Summer is kind of the worst time to go now. Arrive in the parking lot at around 3 am just to get a parking place. Hoards of people with no trail etiquette. And then there are the idiots who think scratching their names on the ancient petroglyphs is a fantastic way to tell the entire world how self-centered they are. Mid-winter, from just before Thanksgiving on into the middle of January, the crowds are gone, the bears are sluggish, and there are plenty of beach sites away from Point Alava and Sand Point. I go south from Sand Point a few miles on the beach, so watching the tide times is REALLY important to get around the headlands. And this was the time of year I found my float. NO ONE on the beach in that direction, and I took my time going through everything. Funny. I did not find it in the mess between logs. I found it on the side of a tree that had a nail stuck in it. Some HUGE wave must have thrown it a good distance, above the driftwood line. I have no idea how I spotted it.... 40 years ago, a friend found one about 18 inches in diameter. Now THAT was a hard one to hike out!
Wow!!! What a cool find!!! I took a look at your website and look forward to ordering some things from you in the future! Thanks for sharing!!! Very cool!!!👍👍
My mother was from Georgia and loved the ocean. In our home in Idaho she painted a seaside mural. She had some sage brush sanded to look like drift wood and a bit of net connected to it with a couple of glass floats in it. It helped her remember the sea and it was a beautiful scene she made.
I find it amazing how many glass floaters you find and the fact that you fly in to the area. I know flying is not unusual in Alaska, however I find it so cool that you have the opportunity to explore that way. Beautiful glass. I have subscribed to your channel.
When we lived in Japan ( 5 years ) we ( me and my 8 siblings) would go down to the beach after a big storm and find these glass globes. But, the best thing of all was finding a basketball sized globe in mint condition with or without the ropes. Those were the good old days . We flew PAN AM to Japan, it was a 23 hours flight and we stopped in Alaska for refuelling.
Oh i would love one with a clover leaf, as thats my surname....great vid, lucky u to collect these wonderful glass floats😍 liked and subscribed...love ur dog too !😊
I'd give my left arm to go float hunting with you. I've been looking for those floats in the Maritimes but they aren't so readily available there. You've landed on a gold mine there!! In the initial scenes, are all those round things on the beach glass floats as well? If they are, you have yourself a profitable little nest egg there! They would certainly pay for the gas for your plane and more!! These are just beautiful! I'm on my way to your website to purchase. Thanks so much for sharing!!
I love your video and subscribed. What fun that has to be. Looking for shells is exciting but this is really exciting. I would stay there until I found all I could. Please start posting more videos. I am crazy over these glass floats. If only they could talk and tell you what they have been through and what they have seen. And think about the history of them. It’s so exciting. Thanks for a great video. There is something they make that cuts out the wind noise. Maybe look into that. Stay safe.
Uuuuh, really nice finds (even a lot of them) and a nice dog too. Congrats. Thanks a lot for making recording editing uploading and sharing. Best regards luck and health.
When I was very young we went to Florida and were walking on the beach. We found a string with 3 of these glass balls attached to it and never could figure out what they were. Now I know but wished I would've kept them now.....very cool
I sure wish I was there! I would LOVE to find one! Going to check where I may possibly buy one! Never heard of tnis before, thanks for sharing! I'm jealous! ;)
Awesome video Man that's a lot I was lucky enough to receive one when I was on Shemya A few years back when I worked out there At the time it was always the biggest Thing for someone to find them I remember some people telling me that they were out there 2 years And never saw one I found mine in the 1st 2 weeks They're really awesome
And besides the fact a cinematographer has nothing at all to do with the sound.....they deal with light and and the camera. They "oversee the selection and manipulation of technical equipment to create striking images on screen." Lol.
I literally could not finish the video because of the wind. It gave me a massive headache after just a few minutes. All it takes a simple step to greatly reduce the noise. If you're going to publish videos on CZcams, it's best to make them actually viewable.
I found one red glass ball on the beach in Neptune Beach, Fl.. I always wondered what it was. Now I know! Super cool!! Mine didn't have any netting around it though. This was about 40 years ago on the East Coast of Fl.. It is hand-blown. I'd love to find another one. 😊
BrutalJuice , wow! Thanks for this incredible information. Now I have to do some of my own homework and research my old find. Thank you, so much for responding!😊
Ford Waters , yes it is! We rented a 100 year, two story old blue " salt box " house on Seagate Ave., that faced the side of Fletcher High. As I'd get ready for work, I could see the school buses unloading all the children. We were just three houses down from 3rd Street with the school directly across from the house and it was just a short walk down to the water. Those were the days my friend, we thought they'd never end.....🎶🌊😊🌊🎶
lizzymoore54 good to here from you so fast. I lived there for close to 16 years. It's nice to hear from some one from the old neighborhood. Haven't heard from anyone from there for more then 45 years. Graduated from Terry parker high in 1971. It's been along time.
Going to the ocean and finding a glass float is on my bucket list, this is as close as I’ll probably ever get to it. Thank you for this video.😊
Glass Floats were used years ago for flotation on foreign high seas drift nets. They were replaced in the early 70's with plastic and Styrofoam floats.
@Marilyn Dreamwalker Mejorado Hi Marilyn You can check out my floats for sale on my website alaskaglassfloats.com Thanks Paul
Thank you for that, had my question all lined up. Amazing that there are so many intact. Great lesson for the day. Thank you and Gertie! Follow up, just read your website 🐶💔Gertie
if only they kept making them
Should have kept the glass ones!
I know Ive got several of them 😊
Wow, I never dreamt there would be so many in one place. How exciting. I’d be over the moon. So much fun. They sell for a pretty penny in places too.
I can remember back to the late 70’s in the U.K. a lot of people would have these hanging as decorations in their homes.
Yes! And in macrame plant hangers which are suddenly "back in style"....funny how everything comes back😉
I sure would today, I'm 38 😅😁👍🏼
I had no idea why this was in my recommendation feed but I'm very glad it was! Im down on the south coast of Australia, i love beachcombing . The best treasures to find here are paper nautilus, if you know how to look. One time i found dozens blown up behind the dunes ( they are very light and don't last long unlike these floats). It was a great day!
Oh wow...can you please share which beaches to look on?
When I was in Okinawa I found two glass balls the size of basketballs (one still had the netting around it). I also found several glass roller pin floats and of course many of the smaller ones you show here. Good times...and I still have them all.
We found one wedged in the rocks of a tide pool near Hilo. Stuck tight! My hubby worked it and turned it patiently, and managed to free it. It is a real treasure to us!
I really like your video. What fun to find floats like that. Thank you for sharing!
I'd be a kid in a candy store....I wouldn't want to go home you are soooooo lucky xx
Me too!
My goodness SO MANY! I barely breathed watching this video! Those are so COOL and such an interesting find! Its like an Easter egg hunt for grown-ups!
I'd snatch up as many as I could.
Thanks for the trip to the beach, the wind was so awsome I could almost taste the salty air. Great video. 🤗
What a great video....Nothing wrong with the wind blowing, Sir! Gives you that kind of feeling you are out there as well....Great finds! Never knew too much about them.

For the 1st time in CZcams HISTORY, cool story bro👍
thanks for sharing that
You found a decapitated human or animal?
Thanks for sharing your sweet story!
@@danklyf4202
Thanks! It was a great place to grow up.
@Nancy Mortensen Where was your cabin located?
Thank you so much for sending me the glass fishing floats all the way from you to Leeds, UK. They arrived safe and beautiful - thank you so much
Hi Andy I'm glad they made it okay. Thanks for letting me know. Paul
That is a great video! That first scene of the beach with all of those floats laying on it is crazy!
So awesome to be able to fly bush planes where you want. Awesome hobby man.
learn sumthin new every day! :) real cool thanks!
A friend of mine from Alaska was telling me how he used to find these as a kid. Thanks for the video!
What a beautiful day you have for beach combing! Your dog is so cute and I wanna hug her. I hope you brought a nice feed with you so you can have a good boil up. That’s the life! Tfs
Wow. So many. Looks like good fun. Thanks for sharing 🌼🌸🌼
These are absolutely amazing! What wonderful treasures to find! Just love them! 🌸⭕⚪🔴⭕🌊

I'm jealous. Wish I was there. I love beachcombing 💖💖
So amazing! I live in southeast Alaska and I’ve always wanted to find one!! And to see you find so many is just awesome!!!
wow, so awesome! I actually found one in the middle of the Louisiana swamp a few years ago.
I seem to have watched the whole catalog today! I would love to be out there, seeing and finding them myself, but watching these videos is probably as close as I will get. Definitely putting an order in! You have a fan, both of the antiques and of the cool Alaska footage!
Who cares about the wind 😂 great and interesting video
Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Loved this video.
It's amazing they're still in one piece. I love them. So much washes up on that beach, amazing and sad. Cool video, thank you for sharing, I subscribed 😁👍🏼🇳🇿
Those are some beautiful finds! I have never heard of these and do thank you for sharing your journey. I dont mind the wind!

I had no idea. Beautiful. Thanks.love your dog.
Ah-ha I want some.
Ah-ha I am looking for greens and blues.
Wow! Really cool video. I've always loved floats.
I'm moving to Alaska!!!! Omg I could do beachcombing all day with wonder dog!!!! Love it.....
Those are beautiful. Thank you for helping to clean up the beaches.
WOW!!! Was in Alaska for most of a week and looked hard for one. Never even got close to one. What an area!!
Those glass floats are beautiful. Here on the New England coast we don't get anything washing up on the beaches except some trash. Thanks for the video!
Wow that's a lot of glass balls to collect... Great finds. I wish we have glass balls like that that in our place.

Great info ignore the people being mean about the wind. They could’ve been nicer about it. Love the people who mentioned it and were kind.
Love your finds , love your doggie .

Cool video, I learned something new. Tnx.
What awesome finds!
Now that has to rate as one of the coolest hobby businesses ever. They're awesome.
This is really neat. Thanks for the education and video!
Wow, That is great. So many floats 😀😀
I love your Bassett hound! 💚🐶👍
Hi James Sadly Gertie my Basset has passed. She was my beach combing buddy for 13 years. I really miss her.
As bob Dylan said ! The answer my friend is blowing in the wind 💨 lol 😂 great vid cool hound 😎👌
oh man, I'm a geek. This looks like such a fun day to me.
Oh i would love one with a clover leaf, as thats my surname....great vid, lucky u to collect these wonderful glass floats😍 liked and subscribed...love ur dog too !😊
WOW, I've never seen such a thing. First time viewer here. Those are amazing.
Came across by chance Wow really interesting thanks for the video Sue from New Zealand
That is a cool thing to find. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for responding I will check you out love your dog iam a big dog lover
Great content. Thank you.
Love your vid love your dog love your accent keep up the good work
This is what it sounds like without buildings blocking everything would love to be on this beach with this guy fantastic job
Great vid dude, very interesting indeed , amazing how many there are, learned something new , I like that 👍🌵🌴
I'd give my left arm to go float hunting with you. I've been looking for those floats in the Maritimes but they aren't so readily available there. You've landed on a gold mine there!! In the initial scenes, are all those round things on the beach glass floats as well? If they are, you have yourself a profitable little nest egg there! They would certainly pay for the gas for your plane and more!! These are just beautiful! I'm on my way to your website to purchase. Thanks so much for sharing!!
Your dog is so cute. This is from 6 years ago and happy to watch it. Hope you and her are still doing well
Thank you for a interesting video!
Amazing finds!
Good video fella thanks for sharing x
absolutely fascinating i love this stuff🇬🇧😎👍

Awesome finds 😎👍
Very interesting, thanks for posting.
Those are so cool!
Your dog is so beautiful!!! Im so sorry she passed, im sure she had a lovely life
Don't mind people who have wind for brain's.. Great video!! I love your dog!!
Love the Japanese floating balls!!!
Uuuuh, really nice finds (even a lot of them) and a nice dog too. Congrats.
Thanks a lot for making recording editing uploading and sharing.
Best regards luck and health.
When I was very young we went to Florida and were walking on the beach. We found a string with 3 of these glass balls attached to it and never could figure out what they were. Now I know but wished I would've kept them now.....very cool
Miami nightlife...Glass beads on a string?....mmmmmm = NO YOU DON'T.
sometimes i see those for sale at Bealls outlet in florida for sealife decor. unfortunately may not be as rare :/
these where very common many years ago now only a couple of glassblowers are the only ones left still doing this craft seen a show about it
Brandon Brown Those were anal beads!!😱
Cool video have fun gathering up the goodies
I sure wish I was there! I would LOVE to find one! Going to check where I may possibly buy one! Never heard of tnis before, thanks for sharing! I'm jealous! ;)
Available at piecesofship.com in Galveston Texas lots of beach combed glass floats. Also at ottodepot.com in Franklin, NC
Awesome video Man that's a lot I was lucky enough to receive one when I was on Shemya A few years back when I worked out there At the time it was always the biggest Thing for someone to find them I remember some people telling me that they were out there 2 years And never saw one I found mine in the 1st 2 weeks They're really awesome
What a beautiful fur child .
Guy puts out interesting video,(Free) gets railed on for wind noise by CZcams Cinematographers.
001 002 Hey, you have some respect for their Google University Cinematography Degrees you Cretan.
And besides the fact a cinematographer has nothing at all to do with the sound.....they deal with light and and the camera. They "oversee the selection and manipulation of technical equipment to create striking images on screen." Lol.

lizzymoore54 ha I used to live in Neptune beach. Right off of 3rd street. Real close to fletcher hi. School. Small world huh.

5:00 you can see them in the water as he pans back from the plane :D
Good observation skills!...I noticed after I rechecked....very cool!
