Debris washed up on a beach in WA is being examined to determine if it's from missing flight 370.
THE debris found on an Augusta beach might not have been from MH370, but locals are now on high alert for wreckage from the missing plane.
The South-West town had the eyes of the world on it for a few short hours last night and this morning after a person found a piece of alloy metal on a lonely East Augusta beach.
Local farmer Preston Boley was this morning firing up his two-seater light aircraft to scour the coast for any sign of wreckage.

"The bit they found might not have been from MH370 but who's to say there's not other stuff floating around out there that could be from the plane," the veteran farmer and pilot of 40 years said.
East Augusta local Steve Fisher said the beaches in the area were popular with campers, quad bikers and fishermen.
"We had a lot of people camping for the Easter break so I'm guessing someone was down there and stumbled on this piece of debris," he said.

"It's pretty remote and a few years ago no one knew about the tracks, but these days lots of people are down there."
Lucerne farmer Jasper Grugeom's property has 2.7km of beachfront in the area and he too believed campers or holiday-makers had found the debris at a fishing spot known as Blue Gums.
While authorities have ruled out any connection with MH370, locals are now on high alert and vowed to keep scouring the coast for any signs of wreckage or debris.
Augusta Sea Rescue commander Paul Higginson said his team would remain vigilant on the water during normal duties.
