Territorio Highlands, Comune Aviemore, località Loch Morlich,
Patrick McAlindon headed for Loch Morlich, near Aviemore, with his brand-new gadget on Christmas Day, and turned up a ring pull and a bottle top – standard fare for amateur detectorists. But the seven-year-old’s next find – only 15 minutes in to his search – was what looked like a cache of Second World War self-igniting phosphorus grenades known as SIPs.

A letter for Patrick McAlindon
Patrick McAlindon, 7 years old, receives a metal detector as Christmas gift. Under supervision of the parents, the kid immediately tries his new tool: he finds a ring, a bottle, a metal panel and after only 15 minutes of operation, he finds a bomb dated back to the second world war that works through chemical loading, with phosphorus. Biography of a bomb readers know perfectly how this bomb can be activated, however Santa Claus and those parents have no clue how to deal the situation. strikingly, Patrick, totally unaware of the danger to which we was exposed, even thanked Santa for the precious gift and the amazing findings he gathered with the gift. Very well, Patrick. You should know, though, that metal detectors are not toys but serious tools that are used by expert operators in very delicate situations. Next year, my dear Patrick, you should ask for proper kid gifts. Adults use these tools in Siria, Cambogia and Afghanistan, you don’t want to play like them, do you? S.J.A.L.
Patrick McAlindon, bambino di sette anni, come dono natalizio riceve un metal detector. Il piccolo accompagnato dai genitori collauda il suo rilevatore di metalli: trova un anello, una bottiglia, una lastra metallica e dopo solo 15 minuti trascorsi dall’inizio della ricerca individua un deposito di bombe risalenti alla seconda guerra mondiale e a caricamento chimico: fosforo. Ovviamente i visitatori di biografia di una bomba sanno benissimo cosa sia e come s’innesca tale sostanza incendiaria. Forse Babbo Natale e genitori sicuramente no! Tuttavia a dire della fonte, il piccolo Patrick, ha ringraziato Santa Claus sia per il regalo sia per le granate trovate. Molto bene, caro Patrick, ma devi sapere che l’utilizzo dei metal detector è prerogativa di rastrellatori, sminatori etc, etc. forse non sai cosa sarebbe potuto accadere durante lo scavo, probabilmente effettuato da tuo padre, io ringrazierei Santa Claus e non solo lui per come la vicenda si è conclusa. Carissimo Patrick, il prossimo anno a Santa Claus chiedi altri doni e lascia giocare con i metal detector gli adulti. Sai, loro, gli adulti si divertono in Siria, Cambogia, Afghanistan.
