Worbarrow Bay, England British EOD responded to a Dorset beach after an ordnance was discovered. The area was cordoned off and the Kimmeridge Coastguard was called to locate the item.

Coastguard tool a picture of the munition and sent it to the bomb disposal team at Tidworth Army Camp. EOD evaluated the image and decided to send a team out to investigate.
