Washed up treasure

During the recent storms, various items have been washed up or discovered on beaches around the country.

From a rare dinosaur fossil to unexploded ordnance the coast has been giving up its history and in some cases dangerous past. The BBC reported these items so far.

Certain items washed up MUST be reported to the Coastguard and the Receiver of Wreck

If you are not sure what you have found, don't touch - dial 999 and ask for Coastguard. Recently items have been dug up taken home and the finder have second thoughts and caused the emergency services to evacuate homes.
