If those were uncovered, there is probably a LOT of stuff on that beach within detector range.

To bad someone did not find them that has some knowledge and have them drilled out and cleaned. Make a nice display. That crust on them cracks right off. Been some good history to save from a historical battle.

Yes glad nobody was hurt but I hate seeing them destroyed instead of dealt with in a proper manner as to save them.
