“He pulled it up and quickly realized it was a military ordinance.”

The UCMJ is a very dangerous thing and it is not intended for civilian use.

They should make up their mind; it is a munition or is it a weapon? Because it can’t be both.

Practice low-drag bomb. Still has a charge to generate smoke on impact. It can hurt you.

Seen lots.

I wonder how long this guy lived in his house? I’ve lived in mine for about four years and have a pretty good size suburban lot. I guarantee you, if there were a piece of military ordnance sticking out of the ground, I would have found it long ago.

"Mortar round..."
Yes, from the video it looks like a WWII mortar round.

...and if history is any indication they will be finding bombs for another 100 years.
