German Mine
The Newhaven Coastguard had to be called in. The beach had already been evacuated when they arrived. The officials were able to confirm that it was a German sea mine piece. They were able to identify that it was only the bottom plate, meaning it was not explosive.

We already mentioned that plenty of World War II explosives are discovered on England beaches. Aside from the 2016 discovery, someone found a bomb-like object on Birling Gap Beach, a mere five miles away from Seaford Beach. It had to be destroyed by a bomb squad. Another case involved a dog walker who found a shell right off East Worthing.
