They blowed it up real good!
Perfect target for plinking.
Looks more like an artillery shell.

From the depth and width of the hole, I think they are setting their onions too deep.
It is a shell, not a bomb. It also looks suspiciously clean. Doubt that was recently dug from the hole it is sitting in.
Not a bomb. A projectile.
And given the salt-water corrosion on it, and the lack of brown dirt on it, I doubt very seriously that it was found in that hole, but placed there intentionally by someone seeking their fifteen minutes of fame.
Probably came from the Aberdeen Proving Grounds
They’re in MD so likely libs. Time to go after guns again
Bel Air...
This makes no sense at all. First, who digs a hole straight down like that in a flower bed? Especially something that deep? Even if you are planting a tree, that not how you dig a hole for it. Second, how likely is it that the hole you dig is exactly centered over that round? How is it that it is laying perfectly on its side instead of at an angle? Why is it remarkably clean? Why no shovel marks? Why does the dirt look disturbed beneath it like the hole was dug first and the round place there?
