WWII bomb exploded on Scottish beach after treasure hunters stumbled across it
  • 5 years ago
A bomb dating back to World War II has been exploded on a Scottish beach after a pair of treasure hunters stumbled across it. The amateur archaeologists were scanning the beach with metal detectors and were fortunate to not set the device off. They began digging to uncover the rusty bomb in the sands of Culbin, Moray, and continued to do so until the explosive was completely unearthed. Safety experts have now issued guidance stating that any bombs discovered should be left well alone, and "not moved at all".
