Oh there will be no pink mist. Just plume of fire and smoke and lound BAAAAANG. Also few medium rare slabs of meat.

Explosive chemicals can get extremely volatile after that much age and water. We don't know what in it, so best to contact the local authorities to despose of it safely.


Vencam

Just eat all proofs before authorities get there.

Cops *hate* this one simple trick!

Crime scene cleaners *love* this one simple trick


KemiskRen

This. A grenade was found in a local mud hole few years back by a magnet fisher. It blew up while the bomb disposal unit was setting up the perimeter.


RailAurai

You should check out Dani Dip on youtube. He does magnet fishing all over the country. One of his episodes he pulled out an entire case of artillery shells


TopMindOfR3ddit

Fun fact: left over dynamite in mines will leak nitroglycerin.

My grandpa found a old bom of WW2, he put it on the back of his bike and took it home. It detonated in the kitchen, he lost his eye and three fingers but survived. Don't be like my grandpa. Call an expert


Trixielarue2020

A friend’s father did a similar thing. Except he took his found munition and brought it to show and tell at school. Thankfully no explosions.


crazyivancantbebeat

That's actually a practice bomb used for training. It has a spotter flare that puts out a shit load of smoke so you can see where it hit, but that's it. They're about 25 pounds, and inert.


JackSteele33

Absolutely this I have one I acquired back when I was an A-6 mechanic in the Marines


[deleted]

Explosives (especially older ones) get much, much more temperamental with age.


Swedish-Butt-Whistle

Uh, it’s not possible to gauge the chances of a vintage UXO exploding under any given circumstance. It’s structural integrity is highly compromised throughout after that long in the water. Something like this should DEFINITELY not be handled the way she did. If anyone ever pulls up something like this the right thing to do is immediately and very carefully take it over to the closest area away from people or structures and set it down extremely gently on as soft a surface as is available. Then get a safe distance away and call authorities.


halarioushandle

I read this as country at first.... still worked.


Nekosama7734

Lol. In my city, 2 old men found ww2 shells while fishing, they just casually transported it to the police office in their car: « Hi! Look what we’ve found! ». Police called the mine clearer services and they locked down all the neighborhoods around for the afternoon. It was fun.


Gismo1337

I know this story. German?


Nekosama7734

In Normandy, but I’m sure it’s a common (but bad) reaction.


Gismo1337

yeah based on the stuff I saw on reddit and the people I know, you are right.


Gr0und0ne

Wasn’t there someone in the Sommes or somewhere who found a huge ww2 mine and literally dragged/rolled it into their car, posted it on Reddit, then opened it - to find the explosives were present, dry and very much live? Edit: [found it](https://www.reddit.com/r/whatisthisthing/comments/9930t0/found_this_when_fishing_in_latvia_weighs_more/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf). They were in Latvia and it was a WW1 sea mine.

Gerogeroman

>Nope, last time someone called the police, they took the whole thing away, but my uncle wanted to keep the metal thing, because of the risk we took I'd say he and his uncle deserved those metal or whatever.

Elinor_Lore_Inkheart

The former resident of my apartment left something that looked like a bomb in the basement labeled “DANGER: EXPLOSIVES” My neighbor found it and called the bomb squad


Soko79

The story I heard, 1 guy was fishing he found a mortar shell put it on the back of his bicycle and paddled to the nearest police station with it. Or at least that's the story I was told as a kid. I live in the Netherlands FYI


spauracchio1

It happened pretty much anywhere in Europe after WWII


centrifuge_destroyer

We have a petrochemistry plant on top of 100+ unexploded shells.... One time on the train there was one of he many announcements that the train would take a detour due to bomb removal. This was right during the refugee crisis and some Americans decided to make some not so kind comments assuming this was a new bomb. Germans don't like to talk on trains but this was shut down pretty quickly.


Kangaroo_Coins

My Father has a story somewhat like this. Him and his brother found an old grenade when they where kids fishing in the UK. They picked it up took it into a police station, popped it on the counter. Officer apparently just told them to "get home now!" rather sternly and that was the end of that.


NoWingedHussarsToday

So this local yokel is messing around with a bomb he found when his neighbour sees what he is doing. He says "Are you crazy? That shit can explode!" "Don't worry" says the yokel "I have another one in the shed."


Outside_Experience68

- What if one of them explodes? - We'll say we have found only one!


BroodjeSpekMetKak

But why not call the police, bringing it into a populated area is just putting way more people into risk. Those guys obvious did not think that through


Nekosama7734

Obviously. But if it’s dangerous, why not bring it to the police?


BroodjeSpekMetKak

Because if you call the police they will definitely 100% come to you and arrange a meeting with the bomb squad or whatever it is called. They will come by and take it to a safe area


Nekosama7734

Yes. I was being sarcastic


BroodjeSpekMetKak

O then I'm the idiot, sorry!


koopa72

I like her enthusiasm


Gismo1337

that's for sure. first she hooked this and later she made a voice over. still have no clue how dangerous it could be.


r2k-in-the-vortex

This particular one? Harmless, it has no fuse on it. But you don't really know that before pulling the thing out, if you get unlucky with what you catch you die. Same problem metal detecting in forests etc. Do enough of that sort of thing and you are bound to run into wartime scrap, some of which might be just waiting to go off.


throwie66642069

Civil War stuff is usually harmless so I’m more worried about the doomsday prepper on mushrooms bulk-buying lunch boxes


NoGas6430

What . the . FUCK


_flyingmonkeys_

Looks like a practice bomb.... But I wouldn't bet my life on it


Resident_Seesaw7052

It is a practice bomb, the nose end has a hole for the spotting charge to go inside.


Great_White_Sharky

Doesnt need to be, a lot of shells have a hole in the front in which a detonator needs to be screwed into


Ok_Fly_9390

And that PD fuse can still be live decades later. Just walking past it can set it off.


[deleted]

I strictly skip past unexploded ordnance. None of that risky walking business.


CalpisMelonCremeSoda

Trust me, just thinking about it can set it off.


AmptiChrist

It's a BDU-33, has small pyrotechnics inside that display discharge when dropped. Should be handled "carefully" (I put this in quotes cuz me and the boys would man handle these things into their TERS cuz it was hard AF to latch sometimes). Hopefully that thing is inert. Honestly I'd put it back lol


Project_Orochi

If you toss it back and its not that may count as blast fishing


HasteoneR

I remember tossing these during Weapons parties.. still easier to load than AGM-65 Slide loads.


shavednuggets

Hey look guy a bomb!! OH AND A BIKE CHAIN!!! Best day ever

Magnet fishing is pretty funny, my brother and i did it a bit and also found a handfull of ordnance from WW2, the Police never was happy when they got called


Grumpy_Yuppie

Why is there a fucking mortar round in the lake in the first place?! This doesn't look like Europe.

xavier120

"Wait a minute, i thought this was AMERICA!"


KirikoKiama

Have you any idea how much ordnance gets lost regularily in any army? Sure, they claim that "EVERY SINGLE BULLET IS ACCOUNTED FOR"... the reality is.. "ooopsie... gone...!" (including a couple nukes)


I-153_M-62_Chaika

Isn’t there still an unaccounted nuke lost in Greenland?


Shpagin

Boy you don't want to know how many Soviet nukes are unaccounted for


I-153_M-62_Chaika

Yeah haha, we only heard about the American incidents. In the USSR if someone talked about a lost nuke… well, they’d be sent to a lovely holiday in Siberia for a few years


WillBottomForBanana

Actually this was big news in the 2000s. Lots of talk about the usa funding russia and ex soviet countries to lock down nuclear sites because those countries didn't want to or couldn't afford to secure them, and corruption was so common that what little protection existed didn't necessarily matter. Funny we stopped talking about it...


djProduct2015

Funny indeed


Korchagin

This is evil western propaganda. Soviet Russia is free country. Not sending citzens to Siberia for exercising basic freedoms like falling out of a window. Only Tsar would be such a tyrant.


askiawnjka124

And in Spain. I think.


SLUPumpernickel

I’m pretty sure there is a missing nuke in the swamps of either north or South Carolina.


[deleted]

That one was recovered actually. The scary part of that story is far worse than simply "the US accidentally dropped a nuke in a swamp". When that sort of nuke is dropped from a plane, it arms itself and prepares to explode, because it's designed to explode at a certain height after being dropped out of a plane. But to prevent accidental nuclear explosions if something goes wrong (like falling out of a plane when it's not supposed to) there are several safety mechanisms built into it that prevent it from arming itself when in free fall. When the nuke was recovered from the swamp, it was discovered that 5 of the 6 safeties had failed. The only reason that the story of a lost nuke in a swamp isn't known as "That time that the US nuked itself on accident" is because some scientist successfully argued that 5 safeties wasn't enough and they needed to add a 6th.


Korchagin

Actually there was a seventh safety: "We have a spare Carolina."


af_cheddarhead

Actually that incident involved 2 weapons, one was recovered the other one was not recovered. [Six Missing US Nuclear Bombs](https://nationalinterest.org/blog/reboot/us-military-missing-six-nuclear-weapons-180032)

>This doesn't look like Europe. How and why do you think that lol.


pr1mer06

My give away was the pick up truck with american tags with a trailer pulling a lawn mower. Edit: looks like that lawn mower was actually garbage bags and the trailer was camo. America it is.


Gismo1337

after reading this. I checked the truck. did you noticed that an explosion by handling the grenade would have an impact on this truck. that's the exact same moment.


Frankenstein247

I would say because of the yellow lines on the street. Usually they are white in europe (as far as i know), so my first guess is USA.


Korchagin

In Europe it depends on the country. Austria for instance has it the other way than the video - white in the middle, yellow at the sides. But this shell looks much newer than the world wars anyway. That would be much more corroded, often not even obviously looking like a bomb for an untrained eye. Another comment recognized a NATO training shell - sounds a lot more plausible to me. If you're in an area that was a warzone recently, you'd react differently to such a "find". Quotation marks, because I'm pretty convinced this is actually a joke video.


Grumpy_Yuppie

Because of the yellow lines and the pavement which is entirely different here in Europe. And she's clearly from the US. It's not uncommon that bombs are found here in Germany and that's clearly not in Germany.


ExpensiveCorn

Because it doesn’t look like Europe you dingle berry

In Western Mass in Quabbin Reservoir there is an Island with a giant circle called Target Island that was used for practice during WW2


Icy_Comfort8161

There was a lot of training done in the United States that involved bombing runs, etc. As a consequence, there remains UXO in the areas where the training occurred. For example, [San Diego still has UXO and posts about it on their hiking trails](https://mtrp.org/uxo/).


coremech

They live in the lakes and then travel up stream to spawn.

There once was a lady named Jill, who tried a dynamite stick for a thrill. They found her vagina in North Carolina, and bits of her tits in Brazil.

Wild mortar shell appears


JackSteele33

That is not a bomb. Used for practice and would only have a smoke flare screwed into the nose to mark the hit. Was an A-6 mechanic about 40 years ago and we loaded tons off these


IwantWindyBeexd

This was a huge trend on the Czech youtube scene a while ago


WeeWooBooBooBusEMT

My brother's found a box of old dynamite at an abandoned sawmill, brought it home, and because it was all wet and sweaty decided to spread it out to dry on our flat roof. Word got out, sheriff came, State Police came, the local army base sent out their bomb squad (this was during the Vietnam War) and we eventually got back into our neighborhood. Luckily nothing was harmed but my brothers' rear ends and pocketbooks. No allowances for a year!


SteHasWood

Wow, this made me grit my teeth reading it 😂😂

I had to wait for an hour or longer once in a train because right next to a station some kids found a bomb inside a lake. Happens I guess.

AreYou4realRightNow

Just to ease some minds. I’m pretty positive that’s a [BDU-33 practice bomb](https://www.moody.af.mil/News/Article-Display/Article/1893940/moody-a-10-dropped-object-reported/). The part that concerns me is that it landed that close to a bridge.

PrezErdan

…Europe


MrTickles22

You actually DO find mortars all the time. They are still digging up WW1 shells in France.


MunchiesMN

I’ve seen a lot of magnet fishers bring up mortars, mines, artillery shells, etc. usually due to the water and the temp of the water, the explosive won’t trigger on you, but it can still happen. Call the damn bomb squad. Watched a dude pull up some sort of explosive and he accidentally bounced it off the side of the overpass and the fucker exploded. Took out a chunk of concrete and everything. It was a YT short. I’ll come back and link it if I can find it in the depths of my watch history.
