    sounds like those guys were almost "Darwin Award" candidates too! ...

    The men didn't know what they had found. They even played catch with the bomb before posting a picture of it on the internet asking for help identifying it.

    But... I wonder if the story isn't spiced up a bit for entertainment value... or do people really play catch with their finds?? image

  • Anyone up for a game of "catch"? image

    Wow, I wonder how a Vietnam Era bomb like that ended up in Somerset, MA? Who made it, put it there, why...etc?

    I also love how everyone with a metal detector is "searching for buried treasure". Aaarg matee.

    Most likely brought back from Nam,and someone decided to get rid of it,and
    buried it.

  • I know that guy. He is a good hunter and i would wager 9 out of 10 people wouldn't recognize the bomblet he dug. No Darwin award there.
  • Sorry IHM, my comment was not intended to be an insult toward your friend.

    The way the news was written would've made any one of us sound like a
    potential Darwin Award candidate ("playing catch with a bomb"). Glad they
    weren't injured...
