Lanscaper Finds UXO and Places It Into Wet Cement

Whitby, United Kingdom A landscape contractor came across an unexploded anti-aircraft shell while digging in a garden. Unsure exactly what to do with his new find, the man decided to place the unexploded round in a bucket of wet cement before calling the Authorities.

The police responded to the scene along with technical support provided by a local bomb squad. The bomb squad transported the item to a nearby beach and safely detonated it in a controlled detonation disposal shot. The exact type of shell found was not reported and it's unclear exactly why the man decided to pick up the item in the first place, let alone put it in a bucket of wet concrete. No one was injured but local residents were evacuated during the incident as a safety precaution.
