If that’s a UXO, I’m actually a little surprised it would be the police on the scene, rather than the army.
Cops can handle the perimeter. You only need army EOD if local cops don’t have a unit.
Well, I imagine on nearly every place, the police would arrive before the army.
Police secure it before the army arrives.
Can’t talk for UK, but in Germany there’s a service by the government for cases just like that. No army or stuff, just the Kampfmittelbeseitigungsdienst.
E: “just” at the wrong place
If I own it, does it become Mein Kampfmittelbeseitigungsdienst?
Shut up.
It’s an artillery shell and it looks used up from the primer pin

No. It’s a water pump. He says it right in the post!
Plot twist : it’s a shell casing used to house a water pump.
But it’s powered by explosives
Somebody left that silly little guy there…
Interestingly enough, I haven’t seen one of those unexploded ordnance pamphlets since I was a kid, they used to give those to everyone in my country.
Guess WWII was a long time ago and people have done a lot of metal detecting over the last few decades.
That would be an addition to my collection most likely, i got a load of ww2 shells, one nearly 3 feet tall with the pin intact.
I never get what type of people report like found treasure and shiz, i’d keep it or sell it to a collector most likely.

Or jump in the air and spread yourself across the scenery if you’re one of the ‘lucky’ ones who finds shell that is still viable.
Happy to hear they haven’t changed the standard procedure since back in Edmund Blackadder’s day.
Is this a joke? Isn’t it incredibly dangerous to fuck with an artillery shell in any way?
