Weird find

[Sanderling]

I was beach hunting just south of the 2nd Avenue pier in Myrtle Beach last Sunday when I turned up what I thought was a dog tag, but turned out to be a crematorium ID tag. Being inquisitive I contacted Woodward Funeral Home who basically is the Central Ohio Crematory and the lady I spoke to verified that it was one of their ID tags that they use to identify remains. They do put them into urns. We both figured someone from Central Ohio probably loved going to Myrtle Beach and the loved ones spread his/her ashes into the Atlantic off the pier.

A couple of days later I found what appears to be a dental bridge just north of the pier. Wonder if they are related.

Anyone else have some weird/strange find stories?

The cremation tags are a common find in some Florida waters.I've never found any dental bridges yet

Thanks for the reply gamiller2. I live in the Daytona Beach area and that was the first one I have ever found. I need to run what I think is a dental bridge over to my dentist's office to see if that's indeed what it is. Sort of a morbid find, but interesting.

I just hope you don't find a bodies! I hope it wasn't Mark!

I don't take those home with me anymore. I found one and told myself I'd return it the next time I went. Well I forgot about it and didn't return it for months. I never got gold from that beach during those months. Finally I tossed the thing back and a few months later, that beach was good to me again. Probably just a coincidence, but felt like some strange punishment. I like my gold, so I leave the tags alone now.

I found few of dental bridges last year with G2 on dry lake bed.
I would like to return them to owners

My dad lost his full peace swimming in sea and he had to find kind diver to retrieve it for him.

I found a 10K dental bridge with the old teeth still intact - carefully wrapped in cloth and tied with a ribbon. A quick dip in acid to dissolve the teeth, and off to scrap at the jewelers. Very strange find...

I think that's how gravedigger got his nickname by finding a lot of these tags that get washed into the shallows . Something I wouldn't want to find .

I got 3 of them. I keep meaning to return them to under a rock outcropping at low tide. Yeah, that explains a lot. I'm definitely doing it tomorrow.
