Holger Stark, the German investigative journalist who broke this story for Die Zeit. Stark has apparently told Hersh that “Officials in Germany, Sweden, and Denmark … decided shortly after the pipeline bombings to send teams to the site to recover the one mine that has not gone off”. He said they were too late; an American ship had sped to the site within a day or two and recovered the mine and other materials

They did however recover a smoke buoy

That's neat, why does Stark have this to say about the issue himself though?

"But this is, at least in respect to our work at @DIEZEIT, complete BS. And if you write about me: call next time before you publish."
