What a great story, thanks for sharing this.. Living here on the island I find myself always scouring through the piles of drift wood and rubbish in the far corners of the beaches to possibly find a treasure.. My best find was waking up early one morning after camping out on a beach in Hana and finding an old 12" or 14" bluish/green glass fish float with heavy crustaceans around it, looked like it had been floating for years.. Where it beached itself was just a small 200 ft beach with lava rock walls surrounding it, surprised it didn't get smashed upon the rocks.. It's a far cry from finding 36 balls at a time... that would be something... But after finding that ball that morning it definitely turned me into a beachcomber.. :wink: Thanks for sharing the story Tikiwahine... |
