Salvage yard owner who rolled a deactivated SEA MINE back home to use as a quirky COFFEE TABLE is forced to hand it over to Royal NavyJoe Gray, 43, found the massive mine on rocks at Perranuthnoe near his home in Penzance, Cornwall this month and rolled it up the beach to use as the centrepiece of his salvage yard Shiver Me Timbers. The mine contained no explosives and had come free after being used in a training exercise by the Navy off the coast of Plymouth last year, coastguards told him. Mr Gray was originally instructed by the Government's Receiver of Wreck team that he could keep the bomb if it was unclaimed after one year. But his dreams of permanently owning the training mine were dashed this week after the Royal Navy visited him yesterday to reclaim it.
