I'm sure you know that this is coming, so I'll say it first..
Going fishing with you must be a real blast... :lol:

Thats awesome!

The funny thing is the guys from foreign places that find them all the time are like oh nothing will happen.

Going to end up being someones last post someday if you keep trying to purposely dig explosives.

And yeah you're lucky it didn't kill you happens all the time. Can't believe you got it fishing though and not metal detecting.

I would hate to be the guy that finds this explosive:

Needler,
It's not the people who dig them, because believe me I have found enough over here in Germany. It's the people who take them home or disarm them right there. When we find UXO's we treat them with every bit of respect that they deserve.

i wished there was a bigger picture of it

generalwalton · Jun 25, 2011

Must have been a real slow news day, they came out and did an interview with me. Some of the video shows a close up of it.

Glad that it wasn't literally a "Mind Blowing" find!

RIdetector · Jun 26, 2011

Now that's a fishing story :lol:

KingTotsalot · Jun 27, 2011

my question!!!!

I saw you picking through the hole made by the bomb's detonation...did you get any fragments to save and put in your Treasure box??????? Would like to see pics if you got any!

generalwalton · Jun 27, 2011

I did, they cleaned it up pretty good but I found 2 little dime size faragements left. I could always take my pin pointer out and see if I can find some more. :lol:

I'll snap some pictures of them later.
