    Police cordoned off the area around the beached mine with yellow tape Monday and kept bystanders away as Fire Rescue crews and a bomb squad arrived. Fire Rescue spokesman Jesus Sola says photos of the mine have been taken and sent to the Navy, which will remove the device, which is 6 feet long and 2 feet in diameter.

    Sola says the mine, which was painted white, still appeared to be live but it wasn’t as explosive as a regular mine.

    It was not immediately known how the mine washed ashore or where it came from.
