BROWARD COUNTY, Fla. - It's not unusual for some kinds of aquatic creatures to wash up on Florida beaches, but what about a naval mine?
Law enforcement officials said Sunday a possible military explosive training device washed ashore in Lauderdale-By-The-Sea, Florida.
Officials said, though the object has the word "inert" written on it, the Broward Sheriff's Office Bomb Squad investigated. Officials said the U.S. Air Force also responded.
Officials said the bomb squad and Air Force determined that the sea mine was safe and removed it from the beach.

Simply change inert to HIGH EXPLOSIVE. AND MAYBE SOME WIRES RUNNING FROM IT BACK TO THE HOUSE?
Send to the Biden estate in Delaware. They enjoy fireworks.
The mine was labeled inert and it is almost perfectly clean. It wasn't in the water long.
Florida Mine.
I want one!
It’ll go great with those Navy Surplus torpedoes I bought.
I’m sure you could make one out of items from a craft store.
Hunter says he MAY have had a mine at some point that he left at a second-hand Navy Surplus store...but whatever the provenance of the mine, he is 100% CERTAIN he was banging his sister-in-law while his brother was still alive.
Then Hunter was filmed banging his niece , the porn clip is on the web.
Hunter could indeed use a surplus depth charge.
Sheesh...I missed that one.
And the press shat themselves every time Trump peeked at a stray nipple.
What if the bad guys stenciled the word “SAFE” on a mine and dropped it in the water?
By the way, Happy Easter. :)
Wouldn’t the military know about a missing training mine?
Wonder if the military actually disarmed it before ‘determining’ it was not a hazard? :/
Florida? What do they mine in Florida? Fluorite? I thought that came from Illinois?
Bob Newhart knew how to handle this sort of thing -

This story does remind me of the Bond film...FOR YOUR EYES ONLY...
A fishing boat is sunk after it came into contact with an old mine...The boat actually is a British spy ship carrying some secret equipment...The mine got caught in the fishing net...
That scene of the spy ship sinking...It is a horrifying scene...Some crew members got electrocuted...One crew member tried unsuccessfully to destroy the secret equipment...
By the way, FOR YOUR EYES ONLY is a good Bond film...
Sheesh...I missed that one.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
LOL, I have had a tough time watching anything with Roger Moore in it after I realized how flaming he was!
About a month ago, I watched a movie “The Sea Wolves” (Not the famous “The Sea Wolf”) in which Roger Moore starred as a British military officer in WWII who was a “ladies man”. I had to keep from rolling my eyes.
Of course, I had the same reaction watching “Shogun” with Richard Chamberlain again this past year, and nearly spit when his Japanese hosts, unsure of his sexual predilections because he is turning down the girls they offer him, decide maybe he likes boys and offer him one, to which he sputters in rage “Do I look like a sodomite to you?”
Well...yeah.
I did see a review on “The Sea Wolves” which captured the movie perfectly. Based on a true story, the Sea Wolves are a geriatric impossible mission team called back to duty after 40 years of retirement with the offer of a dangerous mission that carries no hope of reward or recognition for their efforts. And they jump at the chance!
The movie itself is rather average, but the story is great fun, and more suspensible at times than one might expect. It suffers only from a decidedly 1970s made-for-television feel to the production, though the story is set in 1943. But even this drawback is ameliorated somewhat by closing credits where images of the real-life heroes from World War II are juxtaposed with those of the actors who immortalized their heroism in this film. Well worth watching.
