BBC News - October 19th 2008

A man with a metal detector has found three unexploded mortar devices on land in Denbighshire

North Wales Police said a safety cordon had been put around the area after the discovery between Llangollen and Rhos on Sunday afternoon.

The metal detector enthusiast walked into a police station to tell officers about his find.

Police have called in a specialist team of bomb disposal experts from Chester to deal with the devices.

Hi Neil

I found a Live Dorna round on a rally this year
Farmers are so careless with live ammo.

I have found several Grenades over the years & I think the most worrying thing for me was the thought that I may loose the land but the farmers have been very understanding.

It may be worth pointing out that should the "Bomb Disposal" unit get called out, this is a FREE SERVICE & won't be billed to the landowner (this is what was worrying me the 1st time it happened) so it may be worth letting them know if you find something.
