Last weekend I made a short trip to the Polish coast of the Baltic Sea (short because of duration, not distance - it's 1000 km to get there and come back to Warsaw ). My Mom and me were professionally equipped, according to the instructions of @vermiculosis, we brought UV lamps and appropriate protective glasses, because we hoped to find some amber pieces on the shore at night. We went to look for amber after 8 pm, and it was soooo dark at the shore that we could hardly see anything - and thus please excuse the quality of the pictures, but the flash in the phone couldn't cope with the darkness around us. Here is my Mom, professionally prepared to find amber Although the wind was really strong and the waves quite intense, there was no "sea rubbish" on the shore to inspect for amber, but it turned out that other rocks with fossils on the breach respond quite well to the UV light, so we found quite a lot of cluster rocks with various "stuff" that lit up in the darkness. Here are some of them in daylight
