Old engine, STW stove, ju97 siren, UFO ?

Its about 600 x 600 x 300. About a mile out in the Severn Estuary.

Came across it today.

Looks a bit like my back boiler.

A re-bore and a head skim will sort that out hahah!

It’s a new Combi Eco Boiler ;-)….. tidal range!

A Borg cube part … 😀

Iron Age lego ?

The Arc of the Covenant.

IIRC there was an old spitfire crash site about a mile out from Goldcliff accessible only on low water of the biggest spring tides

Could be an aero engine (part)..wow that would be great.

The grid pattern on the side might be a clue.

The top edge in the 3rd photo looks like concrete – in which case it’s probably not an aero engine – but it may just be natural accretion from the sea bed. On the second photo, the right hand edge of the vertical plate looks either flame cut or fractured, but seems to have a lifting eye or similar at the top corner?

Battery

Yep. I’ll go for battery too!!

Sticker.

It’s a battery, if you break open a car battery it looks like that.

So, it could be a battery. Some sort of marine battery…..possibly of a German U Boat 🙂

Next time I’m out there I’ll get some measurements and more pictures. I’ll try and push it over as well.

full of stones?

No idea what it is

Low tide is at 11:51 today and is quite high at 3.51m.

Also, out there is a standing stone and petrofied forest tree stumps etc.

I’ll get some pix.

Poke it with a stick and see what happens – keep in mind though that since the 1950s the US military have lost 8 nuclear bombs. Combined the lost warheads add up to 2,200 Hiroshimas!

Not just on US soil either – the lost one in the Med and neither it or the plane have yet to be found.

One fell off the deck of a boat near Japan – much nearer to japan than the admitted to when they finally admitted they’d lost it at all.

So thats just the bombs they’ve admitted to losing and it takes decades for them to make the admissions

So just give it a really, really good poke with a stick
🙂

It’s a baby Robin.

full of stones?

Well it wasn’t when it first fell there. The river put them there.

I think a battery is a good call. Ships carry large batteries for emergency power of radios and lighting.

Next time I’m out there I’ll get some measurements and more pictures. I’ll try and push it over as well.

Didn’t work out well the last time they tried that…

Is it an artisan woodburner?

When you kick it or poke it with a stick, let me know, I am very close to you and would prefer to be in the bunker (Downstairs Loo) when you do.

There were lots of quite nasty ammunition factories round here in the 1st WW.
They had less stringent disposal regulations back then.. Where I am sat was where they used to fill Mustard gas bombs..
Also the German bombers dropped quite a few short in the estuary so careful out there..

There’s a stack of railway batteries in the old* train fixing place along the track from me that look like that.

@TheDTs

Chittening Wharf mustard gas factory.

I’ll let you know when I plan to give it a good kicking 😉

Its a crop sprayer

Redhunter, thats it, we don’t dig holes here.

Pastycost?
