    ID help needed on a mine found on Scottish beach

    Hi,
    I recently found what I think is an anti tank mine on a beach in north eastern Scotland. Nearby are lots of concrete anti tank blocks and the occasional pill box. I am curious about the attached chain as well.

    Can anyone identify the type of mine it may be?
    Any formation gratefully received.

    Thanks,
    Taff

              Hmm pics not large enough to have any detail.

              I doubt it is an AT mine most likely just an improvised anchor for something and or the remains of a buoy/boom of some form.

                  And a good thing! Taff, do you have any idea how dangerous 75 year old explosives which have been buried in a beach would be? handling such things is NOT a good way to get your name in the local paper!

                    Thanks for your ideas ....... And rest assured it wasn't me playing with it!!!
                    Photos are not too good as they were taken on an old iPhone and emailed to me.

                      Just a thought but might it be the anchor for an anti ship sea mine?
