WTH? and beach bonanza

Today's discovery begs the question, "What the heck happened here?" Steps from the water and clearly delivered by it...


how the devil did somebody's brickwork get here? Bricks don't float! They sink. It has been relatively calm the last few days. Hmmmm.


Shells for P-3 continue to come in. They stink! We were downwind! Ick! We need sun and wind to do their work.


I had no idea that the whole darn back of the truck tipped up, wheels and all.


Here's the booty from the beach, collected over several days. People don't seem to be too careful about their small treasures. There's even a Bermuda dollar here. Makes you wonder if it "floated" here, as long as bricks get here, too.


The gold is 10 carat, but it's more than 0 carat. I wonder if our found "genie" bottle had anything to do with finding all this stuff?


No doubloons so far, though.

  1. Did you buy a metal detector?

  2. No, use of metal detectors is illegal on this beach (and probably other National Seashore beaches). E just has an eagle eye, as does her Mom. I've seen one or two coins where she has seen the rest.

    There is a rumor, probably not based in fact, that there are gold coins from a ship wreck that occasionally wash ashore. Given the density of bricks, I would guess that gold also "floats" here.
