About Seaglass Hunter
Built by a collector, for collectors.
I've lived near the beach my entire life. Some of my earliest memories are walking the shoreline with my head down, scanning for that flash of frosted color in the sand. Decades later, I'm still doing it.
But my collection lived in jars, bowls, and shadow boxes with no record of where each piece came from, what it might be, or how rare it was. Every seaglass hunter I know has the same problem: a beautiful collection and no good way to track it.
So I built Seaglass Hunter.
What it does
- Identify your finds. Snap a photo and learn the likely color rarity, glass type, and possible origin of each piece.
- Catalog your collection. Log where and when you found it, tag your favorite hunting spots, and watch your collection grow over time.
- Explore other collections. See what hunters are finding on beaches around the world, from common greens to the once-in-a-lifetime oranges and reds.
Why it matters
Seaglass is disappearing. As plastics replaced glass, less of it enters the ocean, which means the pieces washing up today are a finite record of the past. Every shard has a story: a shipwreck, an old bottling plant, a seaside dump from a century ago. Seaglass Hunter exists to help collectors preserve those stories, one find at a time.
From one hunter to another
If you know the feeling of spotting cobalt blue in wet sand, you're in the right place. Welcome.
