Sea Mine discovered... at Kyabram??
Sea Mine discovered... at Kyabram??
Kyabram in northern Victoria, Australia, is a few hundred Km from the nearest stretch of salt water. The local news ran a story this afternoon about a Laser Level Tractor that snared a sea mine while preparing some irrigation country. The mine was deemed to be inert, and dug up. Story and pictures HERE

Good find.
I reckon that if you clean carefully around the vertical surface below the lid you will find that that one was made at Ford, Geelong. I have one here with the ID. stamped around that edge. There is on on a pole in the gardens in Bairnsdale as a time capsule set up in 1999/2000. Regards Rick

Update
On a further story on the radio today, an old timer rang in to say that many old mines were bought by farmers around the district and used for under ground fuel storage.
