They should ban all mining in the Hauraki Gulf man... I mean deep sea drillings bad enough but this is shocking...

The real question is : "Is that all they found?".

Seriously, with what the Navy has dumped out there over the years...:spanking:

Could be from WW2

Mines were laid by the German Raider Orion in the Hauraki gulf, that's what sunk the Niagara in 1940

Given Akzles feelings about Auckland I reckon he put them there, as a starting point, probably lining up the mortars as we speak.........
