"Standing Stones"

[Frogmountain]

Hit my usual beach today (a brisk 25 degrees in my part of NY) and found an odd phenomenon - shotgun shells washed in by the tide standing upright.
So weird.

That's pretty funny looking. I would imagine the plastic floats but the brass end wants to sink causing it to float upright rather than on its side. And once the tide goes out, they land upright and leave us scratching out heads.

the heaviest part will sink first while submerged in water.

Looks like someone's been shooting Sea Ducks.
They taste horrible; not worth shooting for food.
