Japanese tsunami artifact that was found today

Our friend Scott found this Japanese float today at Newport

Sorry, I will get this photo turned around as time permits.  This plastic egg shaped fishing float weighs in  excess of 50 pounds and stands over 40" high.  This is just one of the Japanese tsunami artifacts that was found today on the beaches here in Lincoln county by our beach combers, during our low tides.  The back side has barnacles and marine debris decorating it.  Great job Scott, that was a major effort to get this float up off the beach.

5 Pound Agate Found on the Oregon Coast

Our buddy Rascal of Tillamook Oregon, found this 5 pound agate recently on the north coast.  The outside was a typical gray agate with some basalt but when cut open it exposed some exceptional color for an Oregon coast agate and was just as nice as some of the best Brazilian Agate.

Nice find Roscoe!
