A coconut. Big deal. Only it washed in from Hawai'i during a big storm, all the way to California. The coast current runs north to south here so it could not have floated in from Mexico, the only other possibility would be the Philippines and thats clearly impossible so it had to be Hawai'i. As it happened a Hawaiian guy was surf fishing on the beach when I found it, we talked it over, I always wondered if the Polynesian sailors had ever made it to the Americas and he said he thought so, there are some capes and headlands in Oregon with very Polynesian sounding names.
Other than that I found a glass fishing ball once, I found a down jacket I had cleaned and its still in great shape. Some money, too, which might total about $200 now over many years. A whale bone, a shark tooth.

Well, there's not many interesting things on the coast, in my opinion. I lived in Atlantic City, NJ for 11 or 12 years of my life and then moved to Mays Landing, NJ, which is only about 20 minutes away. There are shells, and pebbles, and algae. And Seagulls. After living so close to the beach, you'd think that I'd get used to the seagulls. No. I am terrified of them! lol. Traumatizing experiences.
Anyway, there was one day, though, where my cousin from Columbia, SC came to visit. She wanted to go to the beach, so we did. While there, we saw something adorable. Baby seagulls. Now in all of the 12 years I've lived in AC, I'd never seen one. They were without a mother, but we didn't want to mess around with them. But there were two toddlers, about 2 and 3, sitting there with them and naming the babies as there own.

One time while walking down the beach, I found a wallet. I opened it up and discovered that it belonged to some guy name Jimmy Hoffa. I think thats what it was. Anyway, there was a shovel laying there and some overurned sand, so I figured he must have been looking for treasure and lost it. There was no money in it so I chucked it in the ocean. Where was that? Oh I can't remember now, anyhow it's not important.

I kissed a mermaid once. She told me she was kind of pissed off because some one keeps walking the coast picking up all her stuff!

A bottle with a note that said "Mayday! Mayday! - Love, Amelia".
It looked like junk, so I threw it away.
