Imagine going for a day at the water and, along with sunburn, having to worry about a sixty year old item blowing up to rain water and projectiles on your vacation.
The July 7th BBC reports that an old World War II mine was found off Inchkeith Island in Scotland's Firth of Fourth.
It was located on the sea bottomin the main shipping channel and evidently still capable of exploding as the government set it off later in a controlled blast.
It is not surprising WW II ordnance still turns up consider the large amounts that were used during the war.
Pass the Mine Block, Honey. --Coot
