What is War Sand
conflict sand is sand that has been tainted by the remnants of projectiles that were used in a conflict. Since the invasion of Normandy, this particular type of sand has been discovered in a number of different locations, including Normandy. In 1988, it was determined that the sand on Omaha Beach contained man-made metal and glass particles that originated from shrapnel. Four percent of the sand in the sample was made up of shrapnel particles that ranged in size from 0.06 millimeters (0.0024 inches) to 1 millimeter (0.039 inches). In addition, researchers found minute quantities of iron and glass beads in the sand. These beads were shown to have originated from the extreme heat that was released by the explosions of munitions in both the air and the sand.
