Weirdness washed ashore

It's almost a given that you'll find seashells, seaweed and the occasional piece of driftwood on a seashore. But you wouldn't expect to see a flying machine, unexploded bomb, hundreds of plastic eggs or brand-new motorbikes littering the sands. Some pretty weird things wash up on beaches around the world, so keep an eye out the next time you're at the coast.
