After four years of beachcombing on the Jersey Shore almost daily - I can say that there are certain finds I find much more than others.
How many of these can you spot the next time you head to the NJ Shore?
Driftwood
Extra points if you find a clean, dry piece perfect for crafting!
Wampum
These beautiful shell bits feature purple and white and originate from quahog clam shells.
False Angel Wings
Said to be sent as a message from heaven, these lovely, fragile shells are hard to find in pairs.
Sea Glass
Green, White and Brown Glass are the most common colors to find on the NJ Shore.
Mermaid's Purse
These crazy looking things are actually a skate, ray or shark egg case. Most found on the beach are empty with nobody home.
Atlantic Surf Clam
The ideal choice for people who love to decorate and paint shells!

I took note of your finds. I saw an angel wing yesterday but did not pick it up. I regret it now, lol. But I was hoping your blog to have more info on stones and shells, especially sand dollars. I did find some sea glass though.
I love all of Ashley’s work. It is magnificent. Can’t stop looking at it.
