Meanwhile, what appears to be the Explosive Ordinance Disposal (EOD) squad vehicle is parked nearby.

HM Coastguard are thought to be on the scene and have been approached for more details.

The Ministry of Defence also been asked to provide more information.

Mr Johnson said: "A fair few Second World War bombs have surfaced... at least five.

"Coastguard are on the scene now."

Back in July, 11 wartime munitions were found in the sand at the same Bay.

They were uncovered by metal detectorists Glenn Evans and Rob Bergin and consisted mostly of anti-aircraft shells, with one Armstrong practice round.

Four were later detonated in separate controlled explosions by the Explosive Ordinance Disposal (EOD) squad, with residents in both Sandwich and Thanet reported hearing massive "thumps" or "thuds".

Controlled explosions are commonplace when unexploded bombs or shells are found that still pose a risk to the public.

The EOD team is often called out several times a year when wartime devices are uncovered across the county.
