Selsey Coastguard Rescue Team said it was paged to the incident at around 4.30pm on Boxing Day (Monday, December 26).
A spokesperson added: “On arrival we located the item on the beach and declared it safe and in fact not ordnance and removed and disposed of the item. Although, the first informants did exactly the right thing by calling 999 and asking for the coastguard.
