COROLLA, NC (WWBT) - Officials are investigating after unexploded ordnances washed up on two beaches in the Outer Banks on Monday morning.
A woman vacationing in Corolla sent a photo to the NBC affiliate in Norfolk of what appeared to be an old sea mine. Officials confirmed with WAVY that it was an old training mine.
The call came in around 8 a.m. on Monday, and a part of the beach was closed off for investigation. The beach has since reopened after the mine was removed.
Another object was found on a beach near Cape Hatteras Seashore's beach access ramp 34 in Avon, N.C.
