These photos were taken on the beach in Montauk last week by Bethpage and Montauk resident Arthur Badstuebner.
Can you identify the objects pictured? Mr. Badstuebner, a member of the Montauk Beach Property Owners Association (MBPOA), dropped by the Dan’s Papers office to share the pictures on his way home to Bethpage on Friday. He had spent the week working on his Montauk property and he took the pictures while walking the beach near his home.
“This was found at one of our [MBPOA] access ways down to the beach,” Mr. Badstuebner explained, noting that he thought it could be part of a shipwreck freshly emerged from the sand. “I always go down to the beach when I am at the house, as it is always different after a storm,” he added.
Can anyone identify the objects pictured?

my Grandpa from Noyack told me back in the hurricane of 1938 they’d use the storm debris, including automobiles to rebuild the dunes. Every so often as the sands shift you see and Model A exposed.
Sean, you’re awesome. I love this idea, and it very well could be exactly what this is!
Hello Montauk Project!
It’s a large sculpture of a music maker. You run that rod across the backspine of the “frog” to make music. My son has one! The normal size small one of course.
Nice, Chris. You should share a link. Kinda funny.
I posted it on FB. my pic and the photo taken on site. I don’t have time to create a link. You could grab it off the news feed!
