BOOM BABY

Post by adamhunter6 »

HI guys went to minnis bay today usual coins musket balls etc I noticed some sand had shifted and thought that looks good a few more musketballs,then I noticed something sticking out the sand on closer inspection it looked like a cannon, on even closer inspection it turned out to be a 5001b uxp whoops, called police now there waiting for bomb disposal which wont be until tonights low water, oh what fun days we have, think I need to invest in a go pro to take photos on the beach.
