Red piecesĀ are worth some $$

This is very true Red an orange I believe the 2 top dollar beach glass colors, reason being they had to use gold to produce the color....

Tumbled beach glass is not as valuable as the real thing and you can usually tell the difference to....
  Most of my agate has white, blue and some orange....The one I do have with red is layered with quartz...would be so pretty polished.  Next time I go to hobby lobby I'm getting one!!!  I love my blue pieces those a rare to find as well....I've been waiting to meet with Linda...the beach glass lady....she puts it in onion bags and breaks it up, then throws it out into the big natural tumbler! I have lots of old blob tops and broken red and blue plates I've dug(always broke) So I've got 2 huge boxes in my car for her.....

The old red glass did contain gold but later copper was used to produce the same color.

That sea (lake in your case) glass needs some more conditioning from the sand..toss'em back! lol j/k...I spent nearly all my life in NJ and every summer I used to fill 2-3 5 gallon buckets full of the stuff...along with some cape may diamonds mixed in...Good job!
