A Naval Mine Washed Ashore In Lauderdale Yesterday
UMM QASR, IRAQ - MARCH 28: Disarmed Iraqi mines confiscated by the U.S. Navy during mine sweeping are shown March 28, 2003 at the port of Umm Qasr, Iraq. The mines were clear by a Navy unit that cleared the way for the British Navy ship, Sir Galahad, that delivered the first wave of humanitarian aid in support of the U.S.-led Operation Iraqi Freedom.

Beachgoers heading out to look for Easter Eggs yesterday found something else. Yesterday in Lauderdale-by-the-sea (which I looked up, it’s an actual town) found a naval mine washed onshore. According to Local 10 it was being reported as a “possible military explosive training device”.
The mine was hauled off the beach, strapped to a trailer and removed. My guess is that it was filled with drugs. Everything that washes ashore in Florida is likely filled with drugs.
