As a kid growing up in Orkney I used to go beachcombing everyday (young and energetic and living 18 miles from the nearest peedie town) but I never found anything really cool unless divers torches, weather ballon instrament packs and animal skulls count.
the Jetsome find I wish i had found came ashore about ten miles away from our beach.
One day this customs officer was walking his dog on Yesnaby beach when he noticed amounst the higwater line junk these thirty bales of hashish, so he alerted his office and they put the bales under observation for three month and no one even gave them a second glance. They eventualy notified the press and showed of their find, gosh I was annoyed but it really gave me a new impetous to keep beachcombing.
