Last Sunday, a beach visitor in Walton County found 25 such packages, and closer inspection revealed they were bricks of cocaine worth approximately $500,000, the Walton County Sheriffs Office said.
A photo shared by the agency on social media shows the packages were vacuum-packed and sported images of the cartoon outlaw Yosemite Sam.
