Happy New Year to everyone....I hope that everyone here at TM and their families had a blessed Christmas, and will enjoy a healthy, happy new year.

Regarding the following article, there have been more than a few articles since last year where grenades and military ordinace have been found in odd areas. Some areas included GA, NY, PA, CO, DE, and MD.

A Boy Finds Rocket-Propelled Grenades (Seven Valleys, PA - 1/3/04)

SEVEN VALLEYS, PA-January 3, 2005 — A 9-year-old boy playing in the woods beside his grandparents' home found three rocket-propelled grenades, police and his family said.

Nathaniel Heltzel was excited by what he found, and carried the grenades to his grandparents' front porch, his grandmother Marlene Grothey said.

"We were all a little bit excited," Grothey said. "We knew they were something that shouldn't have been there."

Grothey said they didn't know what to do, so they called 911. Police couldn't tell if the grenades would explode, so they told the family to evacuate the house at about noon on Saturday, though Grothey said she snapped a picture first. Police called in a bomb squad from Fort Indiantown Gap, and the family got the all-clear to return about five hours later.

The Grotheys have lived in their home for about 35 years, and children have played in the woods many times in that period with nothing similar ever found before.

"Maybe someone recently put them there," Grothey said. Southwestern Regional Police Chief Gregory Bean said the bomb squad is trying to find out where the grenades came from and how they ended up in the woods. Grothey said two of the grenades were silver-colored and rusted. The other grenade was blue-green with the words "Loaded October 1963."
