A naval mine washed ashore on a Florida beach Sunday, closing a section of the coastline while the bomb squad was brought in to investigate.
The gray spherical device, measuring about four feet in diameter, floated onto the beach Sunday morning near Lauderdale-by-the Sea, adjacent to the Plunge Beach Hotel, the Sun-Sentinel reported.
