used to get a lot of those on WA coast, would find tat least a couple every time walking the beach. not too exciting after collecting a few hundred.
after a while, they were just glass orb trash.
dead animals on beach are just smelly, not too exciting after passing age 10

I found a MRE a few years ago.. it was good. Had never seen one before. Liked the heater element so the food gets hot.

If you eat that MRE, keep the toilet paper close at hand, you will probably need it. JH

No photo but I found an intact computer monitor and keyboard on a Pacific beach outside of Magadalena Bay several years ago. It was half buried in
the sand and had barnacles attached.

Washed up stuff? Egads..where to begin?
Over the years of my living near Mulege, I recall:
-4 corpses found washed up on the shores of Conception Bay, (all separate incidents & no foul play was suspected in any.) I was first responder at
2.
-one corpse without hands or feet on the beach at Pta. Chivato west of the hotel (foul play is certainly suspected..unless this is the most unusual
case of suicide on record.) Doc Lyons figured into this one.
- 22 sperm whales threw themselves onto a sandy beach near San Bruno for some unknown reason, and subsequently died.
I have a plaque made of a vertebra and a tooth.
- various notes in bottles, maybe 30-40 throughout the 80's-90's? All from Johnny Tequila anchored in front on his trimaran, Quetzal.
- Too many porpoise carcasses..dead from nets - mayhem in the Bay. ggrrrrrr
- However, if given a lemon, make lemonade:
- one waterproofed brick (uno kilo) of some substance along the shore many miles north of La Paz.
we threw it back into the ocean....while the guy in uniform was watching us through binoculars from the bluff behind...
And that's what we did. Right? Bob..Evelyn?
- one 1969 Chev Blazer south end of the bay...in about 4 feet of water at high tide. No sign of the driver.
- one Alumnacraft 18ft backtroller boat with 50hp Merc outboard. Lots of electronics. Mine.
- too many sailboats, kayaks, catamarans, and assorted pangas to count.
- one ghost Halloween costume.
- a large (4ft diameter) swimming pool water balloon spotted floating 30 miles out..(I am assuming it got to the beach eventually.)
- a 1000 liter propane tank (now at a friend's home)
- a gazillion red crabs in 1988. (covered every beach from Mulege to San Sebastian Cove)
- a blue floating chair. May , 2010. mine. I think a shark had towed it away to play with..then got bored.
And some other foggy memories....
