The munition, described as approximately 20 inches long and 6 inches in diameter, had reportedly been in the a shed for close to 30 years according to the owner of the house.

The residents were clearing out the shed when they discovered the shell. They took a picture of the ordnance and sent it to a friend who is in the Army. The friend recommended calling for help due the fact that the fuze appeared to be intact.
