Wanted! German WW2 sea mine

Any leads appreciated! They used to be common fixtures on the sea fronts of my youth and all seem to have disappeared! Museum looking to add one to its ordnance collection, but all leads to deact (especially aerial) ordnance welcomed!

Thanks for looking!

Weren’t they usually converted into RNLI or similar collecting boxes? If the RNLI owned some they might also have leads on where a few are now.

Edit: The collecting mines are for the Shipwrecked Mariners Society http://www.shipwreckedmariners.org.uk/textonly/index.html It is best to Google before posting.

I think there is one near the harbour at Weymouth out side of a pub! The other side of the bridge from the town.

Best wishes

Wouldn’t a sea mine flood? 😉
