## Resource

Finders Keepers is one of Oregon’s greatest treasure hunts, hiding more than 3,000 glass floats every year on the beaches of Lincoln City. And while those might seem like good odds, finding a float requires more than just looking. On this week’s episode of the Peak Northwest podcast, we take a stroll along the beaches of Lincoln City in search of hidden glass floats, discovering what it takes to actually find one. Co-host Jamie Hale recounts his recent float hunting journey, which took some unexpected twists and turns, and wound up with a surprising ending. Here are some highlights from this week’s show: What is Finders Keepers? Jamie’s plan to find a float in Lincoln City. Why the Lincoln City beaches are perfect for this kind of treasure hunt.
