This football size object is washed up onto the rocks. It is solid and very heavy and by the three pin type plug on the end I guessed it may be some type of maritime battery.

Could be an unexploded bomb...

A flight data recorder?

Show photos to harbour master and coastguards, they usually have seen enough bits and bobs to give a rough idea or call in appropriate folk.

Come on Kevin - any nearer to finding out?

You could try the polis - between them they may come up with one suggestion.

That's a Cyberman's head.

The general opinion on my Facebook page is that it could be a compressor off a fridge. Several fridge freezers were washed up on this coastline about six years ago so it ties in with that.
Not quite as glamorous or exciting as finding a UXB, but a lot safer.

Have you tried opening it? Cut the blue wire...THE BLUE WIRE :eek:

My plan for today was to set up my video camera on a tripod at a safe distance and zoom in, then fire at it with an air rifle. If you see a mushroom cloud go up over the North East coast it will be safe to say "it isn't a compressor".

Definately a compressor out of a fridge or freezer. Saw one or two different types in my time at Norfrost a few years ago. Recognised it instantly.

yep. Compressor. There might still be oil in it......
