“If you ever come across anything suspicious like this item, please do not pick it up, contact your local law enforcement agency for assistance”
Club manager James Short said he’d found the item the previous evening (Sunday) when he was carrying out a routine check of the course metal detector in-hand. With the golf course closed due to the COVID-19 lockdown and having no idea what the item was, he hid it on the site and returned home to research his find. In the morning, on internet advice, the police were contacted. “The police were on scene within 15 minutes”, Mr Short told Wiltshire 999s. Adding that he was “looking for metal which could damage our mowers” when he found “what’s believed to be a British two-inch mortar shell buried only slightly below the surface”.

Distretto Kennet, Città Marlborough, Comune Ogbourne St George. James Short, direttore dell’Ogbourne Downs Golf Club, mentre utilizza il metal detector con la motivazione d’eliminare oggetti che potrebbero danneggiare le macchine tosaerba, trova una bomba da mortaio da due pollici, risalente alla seconda guerra mondiale e di fabbricazione inglese. L’uomo non comprende la natura di quel pezzo metallico, quindi si avvia in direzione dell’ufficio per chiedere informazioni web. Infatti da tutti i social, riceve il consiglio di allertare il 999 e James Short, allerta la Polizia. Sul Posto giungono gli artificieri che identificano e rimuovono l’ordigno.
If you find anything that appears to be an explosive device, do not touch it, leave it where it is and call the police. We will contact the appropriate agencies to properly dispose of the item.
