WW2 mortar fin relic sketch
Found this rolling in the wash of the sea on the beach at Kessingland. At first I was not sure what to do with it, I was sure that it was part of some WW2 munitions. Whilst we did not really want to pick it up and carry it home we also did not feel we could leave it on the beach. Pretty sure now and after Suffolk Police’s reaction we should not have brought it home. It has seen a lot of wear and only just resembles it’s former self. What we had found upon some investigation is the detonator to a WW2 mortar bomb. About 4 inches in length ans still showing signs of the 3 pairs of fins. I must stress that the item has been removed safely by Suffolk police/bomb disposal.
