something else...

Found this on the beach in central FL yesterday. It is composed of two wooden boards that have been fused together by two heavy pieces of ferrous metal. It is composed of the ongest piece which is wood with the second piece of wood lying at a 45 degree angle to the first. These to boards are "sandwiched" by 2 heavy pieces of ferrous metal. The larger of the two pieces is totally encrusted and difficult to distinguish fron the beach sand.

I cant get the picture any bigger, very small picture. But it looks modern. And sounds modern. If you can make the picture bigger, that would help a lot.

OK, that worked but still cant tell anything, other than it looks like a piece of something that wasnt substantial, not a walkway stair brace, or anything like that, but it is hard to tell since there is nothing to compare it too, and the pic was taken so far away. Doesnt look like anything good.

Looks like a piece of a dock or a boardwalk left over from the 2004 hurricanes.In a few months there will be lots of stuff like that washing up on shore.All the way from japan!
