The “Finders Keepers” project was started in 1999 by a local artist who wanted to use glass floats to celebrate the new millennium. The Lincoln City, Oregon, government agreed to this project and has been running it for more than 20 years now. The project encourages artists and enthusiasts to visit the beaches in the area to search for artisan glass floats. An estimated number of over 3,000 floats are hidden in the city’s beaches year-round. Learn more about the project here.
