A suspected military device was discovered at the Openlands Lakeshore at Fort Sheridan Forest Preserve Saturday, about two months after the site reopened to the public. A couple walking along the water spotted the item, which appeared to be an old, rusted piece of unexploded ordnance, and reported it to the authorities. Local police then contacted Lake County Forest Preserve officials, who took over operation of the site earlier this year. “To be safe, we called the bomb squad to access the situation,” Executive Director Ty Kovach told Patch. Kovach said the approximately footlong device appeared to have washed up on a “remote area of the shoreline” during high tide.
