3 Year Old Finds Live Grenade During Easter Egg Hunt

Pre-school parents in Britain got a scare on Saturday after a 3-year-old boy found a live hand grenade during an Easter egg hunt.

More than two-dozen kids between the ages of two and five had just finished prowling for eggs in a field near the town of Holford, Somerset when one dad spotted a boy standing on something, according to local reports.

"It was brown and about four inches high. It looked like an Easter egg, but it was a hand grenade," Stuart Moffatt, 34, told the British press.

"I was shocked. The boy who was standing on it thought it was a rock."


A tribute to US manufacturing skills--the thing had remained intact since the days of WW2!
