I am stoked to find a glass ball now that I see you guys found one. The rocks and the wood are abundant ~ so many natural hobbies to have fun with including cleaning up the beach from the garbage!!
Yea now we know to look on the high ground. Another person pointed out that everything disperses due to weight so the glass float ball would be up high. Heavy stuff doesn’t make it all the way up. Thanks buddy another fun day. I think we have some of the best driftwood on Quadra .
Glass balls were used primarily by Japanese but Russia Korea Spain and Norway also have used them For a short time America had dogfish fishing glass balls for the liver oil. The one you have is most certainly Japanese. If there is plastic netting around it then it dates to the 60's or 70's BUT the glass ball itself could have been re wrapped and be much older all the way back to 1910. If there is a stamp KANJI you may be able to Identify it. Pretty historic find. That is the only one I have seen found in the inside Salish Sea. Almost ZERO make it around from the west coast. Never in my life have I found one on the inside. So YOU TWO ARE LUCKY!!! I have found about 100 glass balls but from the west cast of Haida Gwaii in the 1980's I love your videos. Keep it up.
beautiful! theres the info i was looking for. it would be really cool to see your collection is there a video on your channel? and vaughn if your reading this check out the ball for markings. the rope was in pretty good shape but still could tell it had been out there for a while. hard to understand what you mean about the cod liver oil and the dogfish. if this is for sure Japanese what might some of the balls from other places have the differs? cheers buddy ill shouting you out in a future video that's for sure.
@@JeremyDoesThings In the 1920's on the Queen Charlotte Islands there was an industry of commercial (Dog Fish / mud sharks) fishing. They were caught for the Oil in their livers which was used as industrial lubricant and also Vitamin A supplements. The Museum in Skidegate (wheremy parents were curators and built) was actually built on the exact foundation of the rendering plant from the 20's and looks a bit like a cannery even today. The Americans made two part molded glass floats for this fishery with a raised flanged pontil on the top. The colors were Beer bottle amber and clear. Not pretty like the hand blown Japanese Aqua colored floats. Most Japanese glass floats that look like yours tend to be from around the 1940's. The smaller ones tended not to have embossed markings. The larger ones more often did. If you ever find a large Blue Japanese float you have scored one from the Emperors Imperial Fleet.
Just recently found your RUclips channel. What you do is really appreciated. You motored over a log in a previous video. Cleaning the trash from the beaches is more than commendable. Perhaps you could gather several of your friends together and tow the logs in to the beach off the water. Could save someone's life.
Another great video boys. Vaughn is such a wealth of information and Jeremy, you keep us all entertained. Great glass ball find Vaughn. Keep the Bro videos coming. And the beach cleanup is a fantastic thing to offer this planet. We should all leave this place giving more than we take. Way to go boys.
Hey Jeremy and Vaughn, I’m loving watching you bros and such a great beach cleaning! Thanks for cleaning up and making the world tidier, helping heal the oceans.
Hey Gypsy , thanks for the nice words. I have to say again you are a total pleasure too edit. Just finished up muffin top three and you just do such a good job interviewing and filming. I hope you guys keep the production rolling to Texada Island :) more beach cleanup to come!
All glass floats are not from Japan, but since you live in the gulf islands, they are most likely from Japan. Sometimes they have marks on them, but not on the small ones like that. Some “experts“ say they stop making glass floats in the 60s, however, I’ve seen people that live in Japan show with them still lined up on fisherman’s docks. I also would love to find a glass float someday. I am also a big Beach lumber guy. I have used Beach lumber found on projects and my home In Hawaii and Oregon. Love your show bro.

Love the beachcombing videos, they never get dull, love hearing Vaughn explain rocks with such enthusiasm .... I must try the rope scrap trick for finding a wench, it might actually work !! ..... CJ
Troy from washington here, Thank's for the shout out guy's very cool!! I'm also a huge rockhound and your bro would absolutely die if he seen my collection of about a ton of rock's and my beautiful arrowhead collection as well! Just subscribed to his channel as well! I'm not complaining but the wind is a bit annoying maybe one of those fuzzy thing's would help on the mic? Killer video as alway's guy's keep up what youre doing!!
Troy! I’m glad to hear that you found my brothers channel and I completely agree. The wind is so defeating when editing. I bought a couple microphones, but they just aren’t compatible with my camera. I told my brother no more missions on windy days but we try to get out there anytime we can so who knows what the future holds but I really appreciate your comment. I will be very mindful of that.
wow you are so kind! The world needs more people like you. We super thank You! Watch for your shoutout in the next one buddy! really appreciate that. We most certainly WILL!
Perfect timing for Earth Day! Your wood-strewn beach looks mighty familiar LOL... 🙄😬 Happily, Maine's made plastic grocery bags illegal. Amazing what an impact that small change made! Also, keep the bags in your truck/car. I have a number of them (some rescued!) and they shuffle in and out of my house and car, but I always have at least 1 in the car all the time. That's a zed. Plate OR plat number (as in property map)? Took home a plank @ the size of 8:13 yesterday! Bench top! Already using some salvaged lumber for porch build! (also, am posting pix of my found rocks on my ig. Maybe Vaughn could take a look, help id??) Love the broken signage! Small scrap?? H AAg en dazs??? LOLOL Now go look for ice cream drift! ROFL "how to spot a beachcomber a a bar" LOL *SCOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!* ON THAT GLASS FLOAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Keep in mind, things 'arrange' themselves along the shore according to their atomic weight. Iron w/ iron, copper w/ copper-- and lightweight things like glass floats, plastic, clay pipes, glass bits/pottery. Loving this channel! When I get my first seasonal paycheck, I'll 'thank' you properly! Cheers from Maine!
Hey buddddddy! Nice to hear your projects are coming along and that you’re finding stuff and making use for it. Always nice to find a bench peice! I’m going to tell my brother to look at your instagram. I think he has instagram. I figured that was a zed. And I heard it’s a name plate for a log boom. To identify the boom. Yea maybe I should do a beachcomber comedy skit lol. Show off all my rope scores for the ladies at the bar lol. Yea big time score on the ball! We will be talking about it for time to come. Lots of fun out there to be had so we will keep having it. Thanks for your cool comments :)….ps. I’m glad Maine has made the grocery bags outlawed. By Next year I should have the bag system down ;) till next time.
Totally! So the rules are you need a salvage license to pull logs off the beach. If you have a salvage license your not allowed a sawmill license. So you need a buddy with a mill.
We just by chance found your channel and love the energy of brotherhood you have. Will watch the videos and look forward to seeing more. Cheers from Sunny Australia and all the best from both of us❤😊😊❤
It sure does seem like a waste sometimes but the salt water cures it and they last a long time. It’s a natural process so there’s no stopping trees from falling off the banks into the ocean. I guess the logs that came from log booms are a waste. Cheers buddy

That was awesome!! I have been looking for a long long time!
Yea we really scored! I’m glad you saw your shout out :) I really should start putting them in the middle of the movies instead of the end.

Yeah, lots of people still use it for firewood, even though it’s not the best for your chimney.

Super cool info! Thanks for sharing that. And great story with the history of the rendering plant. Yea it’s good for baby’s too.
I would absolutely buy a rope score tee shirt for me and my bud, no questions asked
That’s awesome I’m in the process of setting up a merch line. I’m excited. Thanks for showing your support to the channel. Cheers!

Right on Bro,
Thanks

Those balls are worth a fortune. I have a huge one - size of a basketball. Keep it forever.
Looks like a repop glass float from Amazon....
Wishing you a better life @Boneyard1.

SOOO much firewood/lumber just laying there rotting, what a waist
It sure does seem like a waste sometimes but the salt water cures it and they last a long time. It’s a natural process so there’s no stopping trees from falling off the banks into the ocean. I guess the logs that came from log booms are a waste. Cheers buddy
