This story reminds me of a couple of years ago when I was helping my Dad put up a fence. I was digging a hole along the property line with a post hole digger when after about a foot deep, I hit something hard. I thought at first I hit a rock or tree root but this sounded different. I cleared the dirt and looked at my Dad, and said "Hey Dad I think I hit a bomb" :o. He says it isnt a bomb, keep digging. After he took a closer look we both confirmed it was definitely a bomb. It turns out my neighbor who was in Korea some how kept what turned out to be an old practice mortar round. My neighbor, who we were never really friendly with must have burried it along the property line to get it as far away from his house as possible in case it would explode. We called the police who in turn called the bomb squad and they took it away in one of those bomb squad trailers. They werent sure if it was a practice round or a real round, either way they detonated the shell at their facility and never revealed weather it was a practice round or live. This all happend while my neighbor was out. When she returend home she wanted to know what happend to her husbands souvenir. ::)
