| The tide has just turned and was heading back in. It was a dull morning with a hint of rain. The amount of shingle made me hopeful of finds. |
 |
| I headed towards the North Gare and looked back at an almost empty beach. The strips of shingle can be seen in the distance. |
 |
| There was plenty of shingle down by the North Gare and this Codd Bottle Sea Alley shone like a diamond in the dull morning gloom. |
 |
| Another one! This time a proper kids marble type sea alley. |
 |
| And another Codd Bottle sea alley. |
 |
| I crossed over to the North Gare Beach aka The Blue Lagoon. A ship slipped into port down the River Tees. |
 |
| The Blue Lagoon was edged by a ring of Seacoal and......... |
 |
| a total of around 50 dead starfish. |
 |
| An old beached Buoy quietly corrodes down by the River mouth. |
 |
| I never usually find much over near the Tees but the recent storm surge had changed the beach landscape a little. There was lots of shingle patches to explore, one of them turned up this little beauty glass bottle stopper. |
 |
| I crossed back over to the Seaton Carew side of the Pier, with two dogs in tow. I found this tied bag down amongst the shingle. I placed it down to photograph and examine. I thought I could feel a large coin inside the bag? I noticed the string was nylon , so I knew then that the contents could be fairly recent. |

| Contents. 1. Plastic toy. 2. A 1967 threepenny coin. 3. A 1977 Queen's Jubilee Coin. |
