Dog Finds Unexploded Military Bomb While Digging for Bone in Florida Home

Unexpected Discovery in Jacksonville

A dog named Baby made a surprising discovery while digging in her owner’s backyard in Jacksonville, Florida. The rusted object she unearthed turned out to be an unexploded military bomb that had been buried for decades.

Discovery and Response

Homeowner Mathew Sims recounted the moment when his dog found the bomb near the fence line. He initially couldn’t identify the object until he started pulling it out. Sims described the tense moment of realizing what it was and carefully placing it back down.

Concern and Relief

Upon handling the bomb, Sims felt a rush of panic, quickly followed by the decision to drop it. He promptly contacted the authorities, who arrived to safely confiscate the 10-pound, foot-long bomb. The level of decay on the weapon indicated that it had been buried underground for years.

Bomb Squad Intervention

A bomb squad was called to the scene on 15th Street E, leading to the evacuation of the neighborhood. Sims expressed relief that the bomb was discovered and removed without incident.

Community Response

Neighbors, like Carla Smith, observed the events unfold with curiosity rather than fear. Smith mentioned her familiarity with such discoveries and found the process of handling the situation intriguing.

Similar Discoveries

This incident follows other recent discoveries of old military artifacts, such as a rusty rocket in Bellevue, Washington, and an unexploded hand grenade found by a young boy in Yarcombe, England.
