Episode Synopsis

There's treasure to be found on our beaches if you know where to look!
Sea glass, the remains of bottles and other objects discarded sometimes decades ago is polished and weathered by the continual action of the sea.

The result is highly polished shards of glass that are fashioned into gem-like shapes. Clear ones are common - coloured is rarer.
Jacqueline Kendall from Manchester comes to Morecambe to hunt for the glass which she uses to decorate bottles and other artefacts.
We met on the beach by the Midland Hotel.
