What do you think, seal or sea lion bite?
The picture doesn’t do it justice, but that was a stud starry.

Extended family have an island off the coast of Maine. Think its been in their family for 100 years. Couple of houses. No electricity, running water, ...outhouse.
Been there a couple times in my youth.
My favorite event was flipping seaweed to gather mussels. Dig a pit, build a fire, add seaweed, mussels, more seaweed.
Anyway, years ago, I found a baby pearl in a mussel.
Thats it.
Pretty certain some girl got it as part of gift. You know, working some magic.
Long before digital.

Crappy like a blurry moon pic. 
That is a metal wheel that looks like it was on some type of cart or dolly maybe. Looked about 6-8” wide and maybe 16” or so in diameter.

Ok, not on the beach but definitely something odd. 
Went and looked at it while having lunch with a friend while downtown.

Yes, that’s a Boeing 747 being built into a South Lake Union development
Drivers waiting to merge onto I-5 south in South Lake Union might have spotted something unusual — the nose of a Boeing 747 sticking out of a development.

Brian did you clip some bristles from the broom for your own Humpy or better yet maybe Pink Salmon flies?
Showed up the other day on my local dog walking spot
Wrong color to be the SS Minnow. Still could have been a three hour cruise though.

Hmmm.... house painted hull, no markings or registration, shanty town configuration
... I think @Yard Sale might be right
Unfortunately derelict vessels have become quite common in the sound, then it falls on the county or state to coordinate getting them removed.
It took multiple emails to multiple agencies before one I reported was finally removed. Some of it broke up over the winter and left debris all over on a beautiful stretch of beach. Let’s just say it wasn’t a one week process, more like months to get it removed.
Derelict or not, it seems it would be a fairly easy process, but that isn’t the case due to legalities.
From a email I received.
“As I explained last year, there was both a required legal process to remove a derelict vessel that has clear private owner responsibility.”

I saw the guy working on it later in the day, sidewalk tunes and all. I’m surprised he attempted to take it out it in the first place but then again not really.
Gravelly Vancouver Island beach, near some ruins of an old wharf used 100+ years ago by sailing and steam ships to load coal. Ships dumped their ballast of various kinds of rocks, before taking on coal. This thing had to be manmade, with its flat surfaces. The bottom (not shown) has a smooth, greyish coating. Is it maybe a type of brick?

Shingle, basalt, shag and pig iron were often used as ballast in vessels
Using your CSI skills what's the story behind yet another derelict vessel, though also with a cell phone and cap?
It looks like early Clovis era brick masonry
The Pirates have been whooping up on the Mariners lately. One of their super fans must have been trying to reenact the stadium jumbotron powerboat races on Puget Sound.
