Worcester, England A landscaper who thought he had found an old Coke bottle quickly discovered it was a bit more dangerous than that. Paul Probert was using a mechanical digger on a residential property when he uncovered a WWII UXO.

Probert said, "I put it to one side, rolled it out, and that's when I suddenly realized 'this is a bit more than a Coke bottle'."

West Mercia Police responded within 10 minutes to cordon off the area and evacuate the street. EOD was called in to carry out a controlled detonation.

Probert added that the ordnance was "slightly rusted with a bit of a scrape mark on the top where I'd hit it with the digger, my lucky day I think."
