A spokesman for the coastguard said: "The team were tasked to possible ordnance on Medmerry Beach.
"The item was located along with several other pieces of ordnance after a search of the area. Photos were taken and sent to E.O.D.
"A cordon was then put in place. Unfortunately due to the incoming tide and the item being covered before E.O.D arrived on scene the team were stood down to return the following day.
"If you come across ordnance or something you're not sure about on the beach, please don't touch it and call the coastguard straight away.
"Ordnance comes in all different shapes and sizes and ordnance found on this beach in the past and like this one has been found to still be highly explosive.
"This beach is closed to the public with no access due to multiple dangers including unexploded ordnance, please do not go past the rock armour on Medmerry Beach."
