It's not every day one finds a cruise missile on the beach!

Certainly makes a change form finding shells on the beach

This is a V2, the ballistic missile!

I wonder how intact it is beneath the mud ? I suppose we will never know, if they have to blow it up.

It could always be defused and put on Ebay with condition "used"

And it didn't originally explode? Probably fell off the back of a very small boat some enterprising young soldier was using to bring souvenirs back. "Helmets? Luger? Nah, I want one of those big buggers."

I'd take a V2 over a hydrogen bomb like the one still missing near Tybee Island, Georgia.
