The last time I went to Aruba I found some trinkets in the sand on the beaches. Obviously long forgotten. It was a bit like treasure hunting. I'm thinking with all of the tourism, the beaches must be a virtual trove.
You are right. I have found a few things here and there, not counting natural beach materials. Have you thought about taking a metal detector with you to the beach?
I don't think they are illegal. The key would be whether you can get one past customs if you brought your own. But if you can get one on the island, I think they are fine to use.
