From the Sea to You!

Fishing for Amber

The Baltic Sea holds a secret treasure – amber! When powerful storms churn the ocean floor, they dislodge these golden gems, sending them bobbing to the surface. This is where the daring amber hunters come in.


Instead of wielding pickaxes, these modern-day treasure seekers arrive armed with large nets. Battling the icy Baltic surf, they cast their nets, scooping up the amber bounty carried by the waves.

It's a harsh and challenging task, but the rewards can be immense. Unlike mined amber, storm-tossed treasures often boast exceptional quality. While the yield may be lower compared to mining, the freedom and lack of machinery required make it a tempting proposition for many.
