Unexploded Hand Grenade Found At Popular Gathering Area

Fort Lee, Virginia Military police were called to the Hideaway Club, a gathering area used for concerts and special events, when a hand grenade was found. The military police called the Air Force EOD unit from Langley (the closest EOD unit) for technical support. EOD responded and re-located the grenade, identified as a Vietnam-era hand grenade, to the range areas where it was safely disposed of.

The installation public affairs office issued a notice stressing "how important it is for individuals who find suspicious objects to immediately notify authorities and not dig them up or handle them." They also reminded people about the ban on metal detectors and/or relic hunting is on the installation.
