Tests proved it was live, but with only a tiny amount of charge
Even the BBC resorts to clickbait nowadays smh
The EOD team assessed the item and determined it to be a 64lb naval projectile
Even a tiny amount of explosive can result in a big bang, and certainly hurt someone. If this is a 64 pound projectile, then there has to be a few pounds left even if it was just a tiny amount.
Live and tiny amount likely means it has a fuse that is potentially live.
still probably best not to bang it with your trowel
That’s what got me. A bouncy 7 mile ride back to home. 2 world wars. Regular trowel cleaning. A paint job in 1982. And set in concrete, which EOD had to remove it from. What a ride, for the shell and the reader. Whew!
and it finally went out with the bang it was designed for, without hurting anyone! going out with style

I read all of the family’s quotes in Grampa Simpson’s voice.
The owner tried to tell them, but they hadn’t brought their translator
Quit a conversation piece in the garden
