  We study numerically the existence in a false vacuum, of magnetic monopoles
which are ``thin-walled'', \ie, which correspond to a spherical region of
radius $R$ that is essentially trivial surrounded by a wall of thickness
$\Delta\ll R$, hence the name thin wall, and finally an exterior region that
essentially corresponds to a pure Abelian magnetic monopole. Such monopoles
were dubbed false monopoles and can occur in non-abelian gauge theories where
the symmetry-broken vacuum is actually the false vacuum. This idea was first
proposed in \cite{Kumar:2010mv}, however, {the proof of the existence of
thin-wall, false monopoles given there }was incorrect. Here we fill this lacuna
and demonstrate numerically{, for an appropriately modifed potential,} the
existence of thin-wall false monopoles. The decay via quantum tunnelling of the
false monopoles could be of importance to cosmological scenarios which
entertain epochs in which the universe is trapped in a symmetry broken false
vacuum.
