On Saturday the team were made aware of a possible piece of ordnance in the dunes to the north of Knoll Beach.
Along with Dorset Police , the team headed towards the National Trust Rangers who were guarding the area.
With a really careful look , it was soon discovered the item was in fact a can of fizzy drink, but the story doesn't quite end there.
The can was sealed and had "Pepsi Cola" written on the side.
A little bit of research told us the company Pepsi Cola was formed in 1898 and in 1961 just became "Pepsi" - there is a strong chance that someone dropped this during the D-Day Practise on Studland in 1944 as it wasn't on general sale in the UK.
If you find something on the beach and not sure what it is - don't touch it , call 999 Coastguard.
