A terrified man stumbled onto a goldmine of 'alien-spawn' whilst out walking his dog on a UK beach. Dave McGirr discovered thousands of Gooseneck barnacles washed up on a beach, with his find worth thousands of pounds.
Dave was on holiday in Wales when he made the unique find on the Criccieth shoreline. The tourist spotted thousands of the white-shelled creatures clinging onto a washed up on a 21ft tree trunk on the shore, reports North Wales Live.
As a keen photographer, the holidaymaker decided to take some snaps of his 'peculiar' discovery. Unaware at what he found, Dave decided to look up the creatures online.
