# Sand Sample from Wallis & Futuna Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea / Wallis and Futuna Islands
footsteps 10:31 UTC 22 Oct 2010 | Hi there, is there anybody going to Wallis & Futune the next months, and could collect a sand sample from a beach and bringing it back to me or sending me by post to me ? I am a sand collector with around 6000 Sand Samples from nearly all over the world. There is only Wallis & Futuna missing in my country list, so i am looking now over 7 years to get a sand sample from there for my sand collection. I am happy to pay the postage by paypal or so, or if you live in Europe, i can transfer you the money by online banking. http://www.sand-collection.com Thanks. Daniel (from Stuttgart/Germany) |

wksamoa 23:58 UTC 24 Oct 2010 | In fact it was at least quite popular in Germany as souvenir taking; sand from the beaches visited used to be put in those small plastic boxes for the Kodak films. Those were the days ... Check his website - it is quite impressive. He even has a sand sample from Pitcairn. Tokelau is still missing as well though And why would a Nigerian scammer actually offer to send you money by online banking ...? | 3
