🎃☠️ Appropriate our first snow would fall on Halloween ❄️🍂 Here’s some festive finds I’ve been holding out sharing. This first pumpkin I found in the Spring after the melt. And believe it or not, I listen to the Osteology episode of @ologies - went to the beach and found the headless skeleton ☠️😆 #funnyhowtheworldfollowsus #happyhalloween #beachfinds #beachcomber #beachcombing #plasticbeach #leftinwisconsin https://www.instagram.com/p/B4SGgjqhgxa/?igshid=9ms2xv9vl7i7

I’ve never seen anything like this with a gold band perfectly placed between two different colored glass - no idea what it could be from but I find it festive af. #seaglass #beachglass #beachcomber #beachcombing #seaglasshunter #seaglasshunting #beachfind #beachglassjewelry #seaglassjewelry #leftinwisconsin (at Milwaukee, Wisconsin) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4AMyEyn5lH/?igshid=1egzxlj5bxlla

A few fake-outs during my 2min beach clean today (see story) but I kept believing there was one out there for me after a week of fierce storms and high winds. Even after two combers beat me down beach and proudly shared their “if you get out here early” marble finds, I proclaimed that I hope the lake sends me one up today too! Just a little down beach, I look down and saw this, just before a wave nearly scooped it up. 🙃 #yayformarbles #beachmarble #seamarble #seaglassmarble #seaglasshunting #thankyou #lakemichigan #leftinwisconsin #beachcomber #beachcombing #2minbeachclean #leaveitbetterthanyoufoundit #freshcoast #marblecollectors (at Milwaukee, Wisconsin) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2Xn4fGhzRh/?igshid=1go8y9hq020kc
