Probably most folks have heard of sea glass or beach glass that can be found on beaches of an ocean, or maybe you have even picked some up while on vacation in Florida, or even at my very favorite place, Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. But the same type of glass can also be found in creek beds, thus the name creek glass. Sea glass, beach glass and creek glass can be best described as broken bits of glass that have been tumbling about in either the surf of an ocean, or the meandering ways of a creek, until any sharp edges have been made smooth by the repetitive motion of the water. This type of glass can be very old. A magazine article I read recently told about a mother who took her daughters to the beach in search of sea glass, and as they looked for these little treasures, she explained to the girls that the country of France lay on the other side of the ocean from where they played in the sand, and in some fishing villages, people used to throw their trash into the harbors. From the trash being disposed of in that manner, the tide coaxed bits and pieces of glass that were thrown away miles from where they ended up, and deposited them along the seacoast. This same thing has happened along creek banks probably as long as the human race has used glass bottles, pottery, and other types of dishes. Broken remains got into creeks and streams, and over the years, the glass and pottery pieces were made smooth as silk by the constant movement of the stream.
