Bomb Found Near Golf Course

Brunswick, Maine Construction contractors working near the Mere Creek Golf Course on the former Brunswick Naval Air Station found a munition item lying along an embankment near a drainage ditch. The contractors called the police to report the find. The Brunswick Police Department responded to the scene. The responding officer who was a former Marine identified the munition as a sand filled practice bomb. Concerned that the bomb may have had a live spotting charge, the police coordinated with a UXO contractor doing work on the former installation on a separate project to safely inspect and dispose of the munition. The bomb, shown below, was identified as a WWII era 100-pound practice bomb.
