What a gorgeous find today along the old railway tracks in CBS, NL while I was cleaning up the environment. It appears to be a diecast metal mini cannon with one wheel. ( second wheel is missing ). It was almost out of sight sunken in the moss and full of dirt. It cleaned up really well. I did fill 7 reusable bags with trash and recyclables that I will post pics of soon. Stay safe

Another backpack cleanup of almost 2 km of beach shoreline in beautiful C.B.S, NL today before the high winds and rain tonight. Found a couple cool finds and I left a couple treasures behind for some lucky beachcombers to stumble across If anyone finds either of them please reach out to me here and I hope they make your day. Also If you are out beachcombing in the wintertime make sure to wear proper footwear with good grip as the rocks are really slippery this time of year. Stay warm, safe and good luck to all beachcombers !!
