Nel territorio di Pitsea una coppia inglese (marito e moglie), si dilettano con il loro passatempo preferito vale a dire il metal detecting. Scavo dopo scavo trovano un ordigno inesploso risalente alla seconda guerra mondiale. L’uomo o forse la moglie allerta la Polizia che giunge sul posto con gli artificieri, questi ultimi distruggono l’ordigno. Infine il metaldetectorista si concede ai cronisti: <<da tre anni continuo con questo hobby, ho trovato schegge, ma mai avrei pensato di trovare un ordigno inesploso>>. Naturalmente la dichiarazione di questo “personaggio” possiede una credibilità degna dei bugiardi più famosi al mondo. Infatti sarebbe come se un fungaiolo dopo aver trovato più prataioli scovasse un Porcino per poi dichiarare: << da tre anni continuo con questo hobby, ho trovato funghi in genere, ma mai avrei pensato di trovare un porcino>>. Come se un pescatore dopo aver agganciato all’amo un’Orata affermerebbe: << da tre anni continuo con questo hobby, ho trovato Aringhe e Merluzzi, ma mai avrei pensato di trovare un’Orata>>.
In the territory of Pitsea, an english couple (husbanf and wife) are enjoy ingresso their favourite hobby: metal detecting. Dig after dig they find an unexploded device dated back to the second world war. He, or maybe she, warns the police that reaches the site with bomb disposal engineers, who finally destroy the bomb. The metal detectorist to the journalists: ” I have been doing this for three years, i have found many types of splinters, but I would have never thought to find a bomb!”. Naturally, this declaration has the same credit of the most famous liar in the world. Indeed it would be as if a mushrooms seeker, after finding many more champignon mushrooms than other types of them, would find a boletus and then declare:” I have been doing this for three years, i have found many types of mushrooms, but I would have never thought to find a boletus!”. As if a fisher, after taking a gilthead bream, would say:” I have been doing this for three years, I found anchovies and codfishes, but I would have never thought to find a gilthead bream!”. S.J.A.L.

He added: “I’ve been doing metal detecting for almost three years.
“I’ve uncovered bomb fragments and shells before but I’ve never found a whole one until last
David said: “It was such a surreal feeling when I found the bomb. You hear stories about people discovering unexploded old bombs but you would never think it will happen to you. I hadn’t thought about the dangers of it until the bomb squad told me a story of how a man discovered a timing device.
