Eva’s Byte #545 – The Find

I’ve devoted previous blogs to my hobby of foraging for sea glass at Sabin Point, a beach in Riverside, Rhode Island, whose ocean waters are part Narragansett Bay’s shipping lane. A regularly used navigable route for large vessels, I did espy a tugboat towing a barge during my most recent trip.

Scheduling my visit during the incoming low tide at 10:45 a.m. EDST, the waves had a kick on the downside of high surf from Hurricanes Humberto and Imelda.

Crediting the surge for a plethora of treasures I collected, my most notable find was a clear-colored vintage stopper. Its origin is either a perfume bottle, or 1930s medicine vial.

Opaque from seafaring, the spherical top is intact, but pitted; the plug itself has a small piece broken off, although smooth from the erosion process. I have placed this treasure on my desk alongside other unique glass finds.

In the capacity of a writer coasting along the draft of my Contemporary work in progress, I finished chapter 23 (1327 words). Blurring the lines of demarcation between fact and fiction, I’ve conducted research to lay the foundation of chapter 24.

*May each of us appreciate the beauty in imperfections.

My sincere appreciation to you for reading this far.
