FORT LAUDERDALE — A naval mine approximately four feet in diameter washed ashore on the sand near Lauderdale-by-the-Sea.
Orange cones lined the sand, marking off a section of beach closed for several hours Sunday morning after a deputy on patrol found that a “possible explosive training device” had washed ashore, the sheriff’s office said.
It all happened not far from the Pine Avenue portal, at the north end of El Mar Drive, adjacent to the Plunge Beach Hotel.
