This is the moment two men each casually carried a 2ft-long unexploded bomb each after finding them washed up on a beach.
The pair were pictured with the two potentially deadly rusty 120mm tank shells slung over the shoulders.
Onlookers watched as the men strolled past them with the explosives that date back to the Cold War

I am glad to see they did not have detectors with them that would have been bad news for the hobby.

Unbelievably irresponsible. I hope the Police catch them and lock them up for a long time.

I bet they had a white transit pick up truck full of stolen scrap metal too
I think calling them Muppets is a bit light, some people have no idea...

What a pair of clowns



What we do in life echoes in eternity
I saw that picture and I thought surely someone would tell them that what they are doing is mega dangerous.
Its better out of the ground and in your hand for the history or monetary value rather than left in the ground to rot doing nothing for anyone.

This story was featured on Radio 2 and they featured a guy who was ex bomb disposal who was stating how dangerous this was and how unstable these shells would be.To walk through a public area like that is idiotic beyond words can describe,do they not realise they are playing with other peoples lives as well as there own.
