WELLFLEET, Mass., July 24 (UPI) -- A portion of the beach in Cape Cod had to be sectioned off from vacationers after what's believed to be a live World War II-era military projectile washed up on the shore.
At roughly 3 p.m. Wednesday, a fisherman on Marconi Beach in Wellfleet, Mass. discovered a 14-inch 10 mm round buried in wet sand. Knowing the area used to be a World War II-era military hub, local police and firefighters were contacted; eventually the Massachusetts State Police bomb squad had to be brought in.
