Sea Monster Washes Ashore on Florida Beach

Metal detecting is quite an interesting hobby. You just never know what you will find on the beach.  There is always something to be uncovered and sometimes it’s not a metal object.

I always welcome anyone’s treasure stories and this one is really odd.  A reader wrote in to share this story.  Without further ado!

“For those of you that do not know, down here in Florida we had over two weeks of freezing temps. I know your saying, big freaking deal right?

All of this cold weather has had a huge impact on the marine life. I have seen more dead fish on the beach than a red tide.  A few days ago, I saw a dead snook that must have been a world’s record. It was HUGE!

There have been hundreds of sea turtles that have been found as well. It kind of sucks and to top it all off, while I was hunting among all of the death I find my first crematory tag.  WTF? I pitched it back into the ocean as far as I could.

Today was no different, there were dead fish everywhere and one was a monster. Check this thing out! That’s my 11 year old son in the picture for a size reference.”

It just goes to show that you never know what will turn up on the beach!
