The ocean brought a welcomed and familiar present to Marcie Callewaert on Valentine’s Day.

Callewaert has found washed up treasures along with unwelcomed debris on the isolated beach in front of her home on an island near Tofino, but her own wallet might have elicited her most excited reaction.

She had lost the wallet about eight months ago, in June 2023, and was delighted to spot it sitting at the tideline on Wednesday, Feb.
