Magpie-jays have an introduced population in that area.
I once found an entire Ford Model-T partially buried in the woods. Also in the same area, an entire sealed jar of long-expired salsa just floating in a marsh.
Why on earth would that even be a thing in the world?
In 2021 I was on a work crew,and I found an entire but very destroyed sound amplifier.
Duh, this is where Shrek lives.
And now I’m more confused than before😂
It could’ve been a float for a fish trap or to mark a diving spot, made out of whatever was at hand…
Woops, I replied to the wrong post. I meant to reply the portapotty @NoGenAI uploaded.

I think my favourite strange item I’ve found was a bright orange plastic tag washed up on the beach with statement that the cargo had been properly packed and handled for off-shore locations and a dual signature on the back. Whatever the cargo was I don’t know, but clearly the statement and signatures did not apply to the tag itself.
Other weird things I’ve seen:
- A whole bunch of porn DVDs (when I was young enough to not really know what that was) dumped haphazardly in a small parking lot in front of a municipal water pumping station out in a forest
- An old cultipacker (piece of tractor-drawn agricultural equipment) in the middle of the woods
- Various things apparently left over from parties in the woods including an office chair and a pile of crab claws.
My granddad who was a strandfoged (“beach bailiff”, a public servant dealing with washed-up wreck) had some interesting histories of things washed ashore including a whole shipment of shoes, but almost entirely left ones; and a shipment of refrigerators but without the compressors installed, which people quickly started to try and steal not knowing that they were non-functional.
Sid from Toy Story is at it again.
I find a lot of trash when I’m out. My two best finds though, I believe fall under the category NSFW. Whenever I want to tell someone about them, I always ask them first how funny do they find South Park, anything less than hilarious I change the subject.
Besides that and the usual stuff.
Legos, money (20 bucks one time), tires, a bike, knife blade (just the blade, don’t know where the handle went). I had a great score finding a titanium hammer, those things can be expensive.
More so, since they do eat little bits of our plastic 
you can’t leave me hanging like that, literally watching south park now xD
Also a titanium hammer, that’s a great find!
That could practically be a seafood commercial. “As fresh as an incoming tide.”
Let’s put it this way, both finds involve rather different tastes when it comes to things usually done in private, possibly in one’s bedroom?
Was just reminded of this post by a web exclusive episode of Last Week Tonight with John Oliver.
The episode was titled “Beach Dolls” and was about a bunch of dolls washing up on South Texas Beaches, and how a Mission Aransas Reserve sea turtle rehabilitation center sells them (and other beach litter / found objects) to raise money.
I went to a pond this week. It was very nice, it had lily pads, cattails, and everything! It even had a sign at the entrance stating that there was no fishing allowed. I looked ahead and saw two kids leaving with fishing rods. Clearly, they hadn’t read the sign.
I headed towards the water. There were quite a lot of Mallards there, many of which were sub-adults. They still chirped instead of quacking! A raft of ducks began to swim towards me and eventually they reached the shore and got on. Noticeably, one of the Mallards kept tripping over itself. I realized that it had a fishing line rapped around its leg! Luckily, the hook didn’t cut into the duck’s leg, only trailing along. I grabbed onto the line and as the duck moved away, the line became loose and fell off. The Mallard didn’t seem to have been harmed, thank goodness! The family of Mallards then continued on into the water. A job well done.
I tell you, it was perfect timing. Just as I got there, the ducks swam to me. They must have known I could help.
As for the line, I removed the it from the pond and took it home. It won’t be an annoyance to the ducks any more.
