You would think it would be obvious what it was; then I realize, being a former Marine I tend to know what ordinance looks like.

Just like assuming all firearms are loaded......it is until you are absolutely sure it’s not.

The old joke is slightly less funny when you actually do see the bomb technician running...

Civil War? Seminole Wars?
Probably not that old.
To: Romulus; Spacetrucker
Spacetrucker implied that he knew what it looked like -— he made no claims on knowing how to spell it.
Spelling it correctly has a tad bit lower priority in this case.

There’s a Naval Air Station 15 miles from the ordinance was found.

Florida had many military training bases in WW II. The result is that there is still lots of unexploded ordnance lying about the state. Near Orlando, a former bombing range was thought to have been fully cleared and was sold for civilian development — only to have bombs turn up again and again in backyards and even on the grounds of an elementary school.

Spacetrucker knows what the ordinance about ordnances look like. They look like it shouldn’t be in this guys yard. He’s 100% correct.

Thank you, Oscar. Yes, due to my military experience I would hazard the assumption that I could likely identify it as such in q general sense.
