Damn, have to wonder how long that thing has been rolling around out there.

 

[TereHanges]

considering England was heavily bombed through 2 world wars shouldn't identifying something like this be part of the basic educational system?

It's a booby-trap put there by the whales. They're trying to retaliate for the November 1970 incident in Oregon.

So then everyone gathered around close to see if it was real....

Is he talking about that or the Japanese balloon bomb found in OR forest that killed a family?

It can identify as whatever it wants. I ain't about to get cancelled by assuming a damn thing!

You've already been cancelled; you just don't know it yet.

Ignore lists don't count!

It's an unexploded artillery/gun shell, not a bomb... there's a difference.

Dum-dumbs.

I think it was a school or church group, but still, I never heard about this until I visited the Ft. Stevens Museum as an adult.
One of the very few times we were attacked on our own land.

Dum-dumbs.

I didn't think dum-dums blew up?

"She pointed it out, where my eldest son moved the pebbles out of the way and we recognised that it could've been a weapon," Mr Bamford added.

"Unbeknownst to my son, he picked it up and dragged it away to see if it was real, or unused. He described it as incredibly heavy and we googled what an old empty shell looks like.

"It wasn't empty, and looked full to us. My youngest son came and got me and I phoned 999 and waited for further instructions."
..
Apparently not.

Some do know what to do with old ordinance.
Like the British guy a couple of years ago that was complaining of stomach trouble and when the Dr. seen an anti-tank round in the Xray they called the bomb squad right away.
Didn't seem to surprised about it in the interview, seems objects stuck in places they shouldn't be is something he's used to seeing.
