The EOD then arrived on the beach and carried out a controlled explosion just after 12:00.
A Selsey Coastguard spokesman said: “Ordnance comes in all shapes and sizes and the ordnance found on this beach was found to still be highly explosive, like today’s piece.
“So please don’t touch it and immediately call the coastguard on 999 and ask for the coastguard.
“In an emergency at sea, on the beach or along the coast, dial 999.”
