    Nice clean wood.

    Have any of you ever found anything valuable beach combing besides wood??

    Welcome to the site. Keep the pictures coming of the beachcombing firewood. The input from Alert Bay is great.

    Say to Granny at the library for us.

    My mom grew up in Tofino and used to find the Japanese glass fishing balls but those probably have run their course decades ago... When she no longer has any use for them Im hoping they will still stay in the family.
