I sense a new batch of "American Pickers" shows, out in the water. All the good stuff will be snatched long before the mass nears the shore.

That, or "Waterlogged Oddities."

I can actually see this being some new crappy TLC show. FLOTSOM WARS. Complete with all this drama, trying to make some interesting show out of reselling floating debris.

Yeah, weirdos engaging in dramatic bidding wars for garbage bins full of wet stinking stuff. Sounds like another hit (especially if they somehow tie it to moonshine).
