More than a dozen bricks of cocaine washed up on two Florida beaches Tuesday from waves churned up by Hurricane Dorian, police said.

At around 8 a.m., a Melbourne police officer on foot patrol at Paradise Beach Park was alerted by a beachgoer that something suspicious appeared to have washed ashore.

When the officer checked it out, he found a package "wrapped in a way that was consistent with narcotics," a Melbourne police spokeswoman said.

The brick was tested and was determined to be a kilo of cocaine, the spokeswoman said, adding that it will be destroyed.

15. I'm with you there

When my dogs were young they immersed themselves in a dead carp and I almost made them walk home!

My best find was an almost new Go Pro, safe in its waterproof case.

Well, it would have been a little better than paper towels at least. Just sayin'.

Good to know.

8. Smuggler boat caught at sea by the hurricane.....

Years ago in the Keys huge bales of marijuana used to wash up. They wrapped it so tight that it would float instead of sinking, enough to make land.

9. Friend lived in Fla. Picked one up off the beach.

Shared it with her friends.

That was in the '70's.

I wish a huge brick of cash would wash up. I could use the extra pocket money.
