I wonder why there is modern UXO in my backyard in western MA. Then proceed to tell the mushrooms to take it down a notch before i continue looking for revolutionary war gold.
soak it in water, scrub it, mail to soros
Retreat to a safe distance and shoot it until it explodes. No way i'd be calling the cops and have their fucking bomb squad trampel all over my backyard.
Detonate it three times and then loudly ask, "LET ME HEAR YOU SAY WAY-OH"
Boomer who thinks soros is THE threat
E) Back away carefully and then call the proper authorities. Two kommandos have blown themselves up fucking around with unexploded munitions (the kid with the grenade in Panama and the dude in Europe with the hissing shell case), and I have no desire to be #3
Hissing shellcase?
Wasn't there also a guy with a grenade in Spain? Or am I just thinking of the Panama kid.
Teacher
Can I build the fire around it?
the shill who uses forced memes in his fud campaign. hit em with le 56% face next jidf.
Panama kid, probably.
That was maybe a year or two ago.

>Jow Forums: I dunno, that looks pretty rusted, I don't think I'd...
>Euroanon: Hey, it started bubbling and hissing from this rust hole worn in the side!
Jow Forums: Back away slowly and call the authorities...
Euroanon: No, it's cool, I've got this!
>Two days pass, no more posts from Euroanon, the thread drops out of the catalog.
>Another user posts a thread with a story from a newspaper in (I think) Belgium about someone who blew himself up trying to mess around with an old WWI shell after asking for advice on the internet.
>ohshit.jpg
>E) go leave it in a school playground to see what happens
E) back the fuck up and cll the bomb squad
I aint fucking with 70 year old explosives.
Jesus fucking christ.
Throw it from a highway overpass, just to see what happens.
Holy fuck.
Lol does anyone have screen caps or the news article from this?
I don't remember exactly when it happened, but I think it was two years ago because (in that weird way you sometimes remember small details better than big ones) I'm pretty sure I remember that I was binge watching the first season of Luke Cage while the original thread was running. So it'd be late 2016...
the french farmers near the sites of major battles in WW1 dig up shit like retardanon did in all the time. still like over a hundred fucking years later and its still a fairly regular occurance as they turn up new soil.
iirc bomb disposal arrange to pick up the shells from particular spots with the farmers and check there after whatever period of time.
In Belgium and some parts of France they have some many unexploded ordnance left from both world wars that the bomb squad doesn't bother at all, they people just leave all the stuff they find in designated spots and a truck comes once a week to haul it all to the disposal grounds.
To live in this kind of area and still want to play with explosives, I think user was pretty retarded.
Now, my dad told me that right after the war they found lots of grenades everywhere and used them to fish and explode leftover jerry cans. It was a simpler time.

Same for me,

My dad told me when he was a kid
>Go in forest with my grandad for cutting wood

If they where sleeping the whole night i wouldn't even be born
I have shit tons of story like this because where my family live is exactly between where happen the two world war together.
Even now we still find ammunitions, bones, equipements or shits underground
Imagine the chaos if there was a proper forest fire along the old Western Front...so much uxo to cookoff!
I'd take it out in the desert and shoot at it probably
>You will never find cool war relics in the woods
:(
Nature heals itself.
Is mustard gas flammable? If so, a controlled burn might make a few thousand acres safe again...
Nigga whut? Put a shovel in the ground anywhere between Savannah and Gettysburg and you're as likely as not to dig up a Minie ball. You can keep going all the way to Montpelier and you'll find .75 ball from a Brown Bess that's been sitting there since 1776 commenced the first time.

Guess I need to do a relic hunt trip to the States, then.

My stomping grounds.
Its fucking beautiful right now after all the rain.
Oh god yes more stories
E) toss it like a pigskin
Beat me to it
Never change, Jow Forums
Sometimes it's really nice to be an American; not having to worry about blowing up when rototilling the backyard is pretty sweet.
