    A mysterious metal object has been found at the beach in Westerly, RI.  It doesn't seem like the Army Corps of Engineers or University of Rhode Island have any idea of what it could be.  My guess is some sort of mooring that an individual may have planted.  Does anyone here have any thoughts?  I don't see it as particularly newsworthy, but it's gone international on the Daily Mail now.

    Thanks!
