Wow.....this is the second time this has happened.

Bethany Beach DE had a beach replenishment project a few years back; pumped sand from a bit offshore.

Turns out at the end of WWII a ship dumped a bunch of AAA ammo right where they got the sand, thus filling the beach with unexploded AAA shells.

Last February, a Bridgeville, Del., resident discovered 32 corroded - but live - hand grenades while spreading crushed clamshells delivered to his property. Subsequent similar discoveries triggered the investigation.

He should have put them up on eBay...

"Some grenades were actually found inside the clams."

Boy, that would blow your Fryolator to smithereens.

I recall reading a magazine on local New Jersey history. I believe it was around Egg Harbor, maybe even further south, there was a large ammunition factory from WWI in NJ. It's all gone now, but at the time it was a BIG complex. The time frame is off but I wonder if there's any connection.

"Be careful when you pull into your driveway."

Just leave those wires sticking out of the ashphalt alone.
