Beach Combing Commercial Crab Gear After Two Major Storms

[@Rivermonster935]

I love to see beachcombing videos and your format it good I like it.

[@seasonaloutdoorswitherin297]

Thank you I try to make the videos as short as possible. It's hard when the finds are all the same and to me would be a bit boring.

[@ShenpaiWasTaken]

This was a really cool video! Thats quite a haul!

[@seasonaloutdoorswitherin297]

Glad you enjoyed it! This is the time of year the wind blows in a bunch of stuff. Some days a bunch and, some a couple of items.

Cool Mecha King Ghidorah toy!

[@seasonaloutdoorswitherin297]

Not sure was it the 3 headed dragon?

[@masamunesword]

@@seasonaloutdoorswitherin297 Yup, that's the three headed dragon toy.

[@louisclosz4358]

That 3 headed dragon is from Godzilla and is worth about 75 bucks

I’m guessing the survey marker floated over from Japan. It might have washed out to sea during the great 2011 Tohoku earthquake and Tsunami. There were lots of small fishing villages where almost everything was uprooted and washed out to sea. The flotsam and jetsam up here in the San Juan’s isn’t nearly as plentiful, but I enjoy it nonetheless. I really enjoy your content. I don’t get out to the Pacific beaches nearly as I’d like, so I enjoy walking vicariously on your beach adventures ! 😉

[@seasonaloutdoorswitherin297]

Thank you I have found around 6 markers and, this one was my largest.

[@sleeplessstu]

@@seasonaloutdoorswitherin297 I would love to see a detailed photo of one of these markers. My wife is Japanese and we fly to Japan often. It would be interesting to see if one could trace their origin. I’ve read that certain shapes and sizes of plastics survive and move in the ocean better than others (ie: might be more capable of catching the wind or current) Being an outdoor marker, they might also be made of a plastic that’s been treated to resist UV light which might help in their longevity in the ocean. It’s such a fascinating topic. I know that oceanographers often use found items (with a known origin) to help study ocean currents. Anyway just some thoughts… really enjoy your content !

[@lakewenatcheeproperties]

that's a good haul!

[@seasonaloutdoorswitherin297]

Thanks! Last year I gave 30 away to people on the local crabbing docks.

@@seasonaloutdoorswitherin297 Looked like Grayland / Westport? We were just down last weekend clamming.

[@ScottMaytham]

Maybe Baby ❤

[@23gatorchick]

Do you ever find glass floats? I'd love to find those

[@seasonaloutdoorswitherin297]

Right now glass floats are hidden until roughly Memorial day weekend by Westport South Beach Historical Society and, Wild floats. They hide them in Westport area mainly only. Those are engraved. I have found 14 authentic ones in the last 25 years of living here.

[@23gatorchick]

@seasonaloutdoorswitherin297 why are they hidden?

[@FishKepr]

Neat. Did you get the beacon to work?

[@seasonaloutdoorswitherin297]

Yes It was corroded and, a friend soldered it back together It is just a light not very bright. I thought it was a strobe light for fishing gear.
