#Plasticpollution in the worlds waterways is destroying mermaid populations and it really needs to stop! #mermaidslivesmatter #artistsontwitter #fraserriverart

While it’s not biggest piece of beach glass plucked from a Canadian waterway (I Googled it); it’s definitely, not the smallest🏆 Found along the Fraser River in Richmond, British Columbia🇨🇦

Ever heard of the “Monkees”? This is a plastic ring from the 1960’s. I did a quick Google search and this may’ve come from a cereal box. Fraser River in Richmond, BC🇨🇦

The calming sound of the Fraser River, right? Beautiful Destinations🇨🇦 💀🐟

Quite a pleasant looking old knob from who knows when🏆 Vintage Finds Fraser River

And on some days the tide is in and the Fraser River Junkyard is submerged. Still, plenty of exploring to be had, tho. Anyone recognize this vintage Lowney’s bag? I wonder what type of old-timey confectionery, was once inside… Pre-1970’s considering where it was found.

Canada vs Japan 1932 “Welcome Canadian Ruggers” on the front and “The Osaka Mancini” on the back. This lapel/badge was made to commemorate a rugby match. Then pin (if it had one) is long gone. Not sure if it’s lead or pewter. Found along the Fraser River in Richmond, BC🇨🇦

Great grandpa’s STP pocket protector from yesteryear! Yup, found it treasure hunting alongside the Fraser River Junkyard💀🐟 Richmond, BC🇨🇦

Ever seen a bag like this? It’s a very vintage Woodward’s one with basketball signals on it! Pre-1970’s, considering where it was found. Found it treasure hunting along the Fraser River in Richmond, BC🇨🇦

Ever heard of “Rat Fink”? Icon of the 1960’s hot rod scene. Plastic💀🐟

The Fraser River Junkyard is literally an old city dump closed 60+ yrs ago. It wasn’t sealed properly. At high tide the river pulls the dirt away leaving “treasures” like these old bottles. This is what can be found at low tide. I have 1 of each at home so leave them behind💀🐟

And sometimes, I can’t get away from a “find” fast enough… Don’t worry, it only contains 50% DDT💀🐟

Can the Fraser River Junkyard be beach combed/explored when the tide comes in… yeah, kinda💀🐟

This image is really unfortunate. This was one of my 1st real finds but I didn’t see the “value” in keeping such a thing, at the time. I skipped it over the water like a flat rock after I took this picture, never to be seen again. Fraser River in Richmond, BC🇨🇦 Beach Pottery

It’s as if the past has returned to the present, to show us the future💀🐟 #fraserriverjunkyard
