The Ocala Police Department said a man who was magnet fishing found a Second World War-era hand grenade and then went to Taco Bell.

So glad I live west of west Ocala. The east side is too city-fied for me, along with the wonderful Shores drug alley....

people drop a lot of things... the most precious of them would not be picked up by a magnet...

but some guns would be.

What makes this strange in a Florida way is why he didn’t report this when and where he found it.

If Taco Bell’s menu items are not enough to blow out your colon, the grenade comes in handy.

PS. Best place to magnet fish for guns is from a bridge in/close to a high crime area.

“Is magnet fishing something I should know about?”

You ever tried to filet a magnet?

They’re pretty easy to bread though... but tend to stick to the bottom of the pan.

As for the grenade, I'd just pull the pin and throw it in the bathroom. It wouldn't sound any different than normal.
