Threw in the sand: dangerous relics of World War II appeared on the beach

The objects that were buried in the sand after they were thrown ashore in the 1950s were again visible. The locals were urged to keep them as far as possible for their own safety. The coastal rangers of Pembrochir (Wales) released a statement in which people who use the beach were warned about the need to exercise caution near objects that were thrown ashore back in the 1950s. Wales Online writes about it.

Dangerous relics of World War II again appeared on the Welsh beach, and locals are advised to stay away from them as far as their good. The objects that were buried in the sand after they were thrown ashore in the 1950s, reappeared. The coastal rangers of Pembroshir issued a statement that warned people using the Kaerfay beach about the need to be careful near these items. "The recent tides exposed three sea mines of World War II.

At first they were thrown ashore in the 1950s, neutralized and left on the beach to immerse themselves in the sand over time. We do not remove them because they are of historical interest but ask you Do not step on them because they can be sharp, "the statement said. According to Coflein, which leads the catalog of archeology, buildings, industrial and marine heritage in Wales, a group of marine mines sometimes appears when the water and sand level falls.

All three mines reappeared in the 1980s and in 2013, when they were noticed and reported by a local resident. In July 2021, two of the three bombs were again discovered and recorded using photogrammetric shooting. In early January 2022, all three mines were opened again. Earlier, Focus reported that a 500-year-old chest was found on the sunken ship. The ship, called "Griffin", sank in 1495 after a fire occurred on board.
