It was an ordinary day in Jacksonville, Florida when a playful pup named Baby made a surprising discovery in her owner's backyard. As she dug near the fence line, she unearthed something much more intriguing than her usual bone. The homeowner, Mathew Sims, was taken aback when he saw what his furry companion had found. According to the police, it was an antique military bomb, rusty and mysterious.
Sims recalled the moment when he first saw the object, "You couldn't tell what it was until you started pulling it up. Once I got it halfway out, I was like oh, I know what this is, let me gently put this back down." The bomb was carefully placed back where it was found, and authorities were called immediately. It was a tense moment for Sims as he wondered if the bomb was still live. "You panic, then you drop," he said.
The bomb was eventually removed by the police, and a bomb squad was called in to evacuate the neighborhood. Sims was relieved that his dog had discovered the bomb and that it was safely removed from his property. A neighbor, Carla Smith, was not worried about the situation, as she had seen similar discoveries in the area before. "We just watched. I wasn't scared because I've been around people who have found artifacts in the land," she said.
This was not the first time that artifacts had been found in the neighborhood. Smith mentioned that there had been other discoveries in the past. It seems like the area has a rich history waiting to be uncovered. In fact, Metro, a local news outlet, encourages readers to follow them for the latest news and updates on such discoveries.
Just a few months ago, a man in Bellevue, Washington state, thought he had found a rusty rocket in his backyard, which turned out to be an old Cold War nuclear missile. And last year, a nine-year-old boy in Yarcombe, East Devon, found an unexploded hand grenade in his garden. Luckily, both incidents were handled safely by the authorities.
As for Baby, she may have just stumbled upon a piece of history in her own backyard. Sims was amazed at her discovery and grateful that she didn't get hurt. "To me, it was interesting to watch. They did their thing and they were out of here in minutes," he said. It's a reminder that you never know what you might find just beneath the surface.
