Largest collection of sea floats

According to Official Guinness Records,

Theo Henry Vandeligt (Australia) has a collection of 174 different sea floats that he has collected since the 1970s. Theo is a regular beach comber and has collected 800 floats (174 of which are different) from the 25 km of coastline where he lives in the South Western District of Victoria, Australia. Theo keeps the floats hanging from the roof trusses in his machinery shed on his dairy farm, where they act as a focal point for visitors. His favourite float is made from translucent, green glass and these are the rarest in the area he lives – in the 30 years that he has been collecting, he has only ever found this one.
