💨 Abstract

A family-friendly metal detecting event at Thurland Castle in Lancashire was disrupted when a Second World War grenade was discovered. The 36 Mk I grenade, also known as a 'Mills bomb', was found by a detectorist and prompted the arrival of the bomb disposal team. A 330-foot cordon was set up, and participants were evacuated before the grenade was safely diffused.
