A Few Tips and Words of Advice
When you find a glass float, give us a call directly at 541-996-1274 or visit our registration page to register your treasure. You’ll receive a Certificate of Authenticity and information about the artist who crafted your float.
If you would rather register your float in person, stop by the Lincoln City Visitor Information Center at 801 SW Hwy 101, 4th floor Monday through Friday 8am - 5pm.
Don’t forget to share a photo on our Facebook, Instagram (@LincolnCityOR) or Twitter (@LincolnCityOR) pages and use #FindersKeepersLC.
In addition to the floats placed on the beach daily, we place extra floats on the beach for holidays and special occasions. Learn more about Special Drops.
June 2024: Look for special floats dropped this month, in partnership with the Marie Lamfrom Charitable Foundation, to commemorate Marie’s 128th birthday. These blue floats are marked with a specialty sticker. Register your float to activate charitable donations to Oregon coast organizations. For more information see MarieLamfrom.org/Birthday.
Submit photos of discoveries of the Marie Lamfrom Charitable Foundation Specialty Floats here.
Special drawings are held monthly for glass floats. Collect a bag of beach trash between Roads End and the Siletz Bay as part of Trash for Treasures. Take a picture of the full bag and upload the photo of your good deed, including your name, email, and mailing address, or bring the photo to the Lincoln City Welcome Center.
People with physical disabilities who are not able to beachcomb are also eligible to enter a monthly float drawing by visiting the Welcome Center.
The Welcome Center is located inside City Hall at 801 SW Hwy 101, 4th Floor. Stop by Monday - Friday from 8 AM - 5 PM (excluding holidays). At this time, we are only mailing to US addresses.
