look what the excavator operator dug up today!
I bet he goes home and pours himself a stiff drink

We deemed it safe to move and got it out of the area. The other team will Demil it on their shift. Not as much fun for us that way, but I don't have to do the paperwork!

????????????????? WHAT exactly are we looking at???????????

......some sort of ordinance???

was it expected ... a chance of something being there????

Drops, this is what I do for a living.
We are assisting a construction company who is building on an old bombing range. Semi expected by us, not by the excavator crew.

First time I hit one of these while laying cable with the edge of the axe it made an indent about 1/4" from the detonator nose...... So we dug around it and sure enough it was a broken off tail WWII German mofo. I sat for a while after that and let my coworkers do the digging......we had found 5 more on that island during that project. It was funny how the pyrotech guys just tossed them on the truck that had sand in the bed. I guess they were used to these

Yeah so !!!
LOOK WHAT I FOUND !!!!!

I use it for a door stop.


WOLVERINES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wanted to be a Navy SEAL, but I got to high of a score on my ASVAB.
So I had to go EOD instead .
It's just like being a Navy SEAL.
But us EOD guy are smarter and prettier then Navy SEAL's.

SDV = SEAL DELIVERY VEHICLE .
So you were close .


WOLVERINES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's right benry, roll over.....good boy

As an elite member of the U.S. NAVY's EOD community I was traind in every aspect of the EXPLOSIVE ORDNANCE DISPOSAL world, including weapons of all shapes and sizes .
Including guns .
Now I know guns are scary, dangerous and bad, but if handled with the proper safety precautions and with respect they are virtually harmless .
Now take this big gun for instance.
The first thing my EOD team leader has me do is check to see if the gun is loaded before somebody gets hurt.
All safe here Chief as far as I can see she is clear, no bullets here.
Safety first .
We are now good to go .

Cool Beans !!!!!!

Pea shooter! I had one of those before my mommy bought me a Daisy bb gun.
Anyway, cool pic. Is that your first rusty trombone?

If I had to vote between Ben S and Scary Gary

They would both get my vote.

This stuff is so cool and so tough and makes me feel like a wuss

I have been thru a lot of stuff .... but nothing as scary as that

Thank you men !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Arnie, no thanks needed...I love this stuff so much I have done it for free!

Scary, what year did you go through Indian Head?

I'm self taught .
Plus I seen every episode of McGuyver.
So the Navy let me skip Indian Head .

Roll over...Good boy my ass! Smersh...you listening?

YOU'LL NEVER SHUT DOWN THE REAL NAPSTER!


Scary, you probably need send off for the "At home study course for EOD, if you enroll now we'll send you not one but TWO free butterfly bombs to practice on!"
I think its Sally Struthers you need to call....
