I love shell picking, and you never know what mother will reveal from the ocean! Congrats to him, super cool find! One time, I did find a message in a bottle, but it was a recent bottle. So sad a daughter was missing her mother at the holidays! I did throw it back in the ocean after reading it!
I can imagine that the people who don't stop think "Oh, everyone else stopped. If I didn't, no one would notice." When really, outside of the national anthem, they are the center of attention. God bless America 🇺🇸
If Im seeing what youre seeing, could be a cow nose ray. I caught one off of a north wildwood jetty a few years back and i saw 2 swim by a year or 2 ago off the beach in wildwood (near adventure pier)
