Was told they are looking for unexploded shells from Camp Perry.

You are most likely right.
In the early 80's There were mortor shells that were aluminum in color about 1 ft or a little longer 4 or 5 inches around that either floated or were washed back into the beach. At that time we were allowed to park behind the small arms target barrier at Camp Perry located along the lake after getting permission from the CO on duty. We would walk from the western end of Camp Perry along the beach to a marsh that was located behind an arms manufacturer and tester (Aries Inc), to go duck hunting, I don't know if they are still there. Anyhow the beach would have those mortor shells laying around some partly buried and some in plain site. We were warned by the CO at Camp Perry not to mess with them because some of them were live but unexploded and some were completely harmless. We took his word for it and left them alone.

They left them in all winter! If they haven't taken them out in the last 2 weeks they are still in.
