Now before anyone thinks we are putting rude pictures on our blog.....STOP!This is in fact a 20mm anti aircraft round, fired around 70 years ago somewhere close to Studland. Possibly from the anti aircraft battery that was sited close to Studland village protecting the Royal Navy Cordite Factory at Holten Heath.
A member of the public spotted it and reported it to Dorset Police who called a Bomb Disposal Team (EOD Team). They decided it was best to get rid of it so two police officers, two Coastguards and two National Trust Wardens closed a small part of the beach for 10 minutes whilst the EOD team carried out a controlled explosion.
As you can see, these item are very real and still dangerous......Never touch them, call 999 and ask for the Police or Coastguard.
