The Birling Gap Coastguard team said it had been tasked to search for suspected pieces of ordnance at Birling Gap.
A spokesperson added: “The team located five old WW2 shells early on Sunday morning (May 21), then came back in the evening on the next low tide to escort the armies bomb disposal [team] to assess and remove the items.

“Take a photo of the item and get a ‘what three words’ of your position. A picture of the area including the cliffs also helps us to narrow down our search to locate the items.”
People who find themselves in a similar situation are urged to stay away from the object, call 999 and ask for the coastguard.
