[Sol Invictus]

July6 2010 (WKRG News) - News 5 has a crew on the scene. Authorities tell us that BP workers cleaning the beach found the device around 9 this morning. The device is disk-shaped and about 3 feet wide and appears to weigh about 500 lbs. It was found in the surfline. Crews have cordoned off about 30 yards of beach with construction fence.

Authorities believe it might be an old World War II shell of some sort.
