"Patrick Air Force Base responded and collected a piece of suspected military ordnance, a possible land mine, that was discovered on the beach," the sheriff's office said.
Patrick Air Force Base officials said the object appears to be a land mine from the 1930s.
Experts said the area used to be part of a Navy training facility in the 1940s, and the device may have been used for training purposes.
