Garage Sale Shut Down Due to UXO

DeLand, Florida The Volusia County Sheriff's Office Bomb Squad was summoned to a garage sale when an off-duty sheriff's deputy saw what appeared to be an military ordnance item in the garage. The home was evacuated and EOD from Patrick Air Force Base responded to remove item which was actually a WWII 75mm German artillery shell.

The shell, which still had its firing pin in place, was safely removed from the scene. The owner claims to have had the ordnance for over 20 years, a gift from a friend who brought it back from the War.
