If that’s a UXO, I’m actually a little surprised it would be the police on the scene, rather than the army.
There’s 1,000 jokes that can be made in sure, but in the US I once found a grenade while magnet fishing and called a guy my parents know who is a cop. The moment I realized what it was, I told my friend to run to the end of the bridge, and I gently laid it on the pile of rope I was using.
They have a whole bomb squad that’s about 30 minutes away at full speed, and they rolled up with their trailer, a guy in a suit came over to the bridge and placed it in a box, put the box in the trailer, and one dull THUNK later all I had to do was sign a paper saying this is where I found it.
I specifically called my parents friend rather than 911 because I had read too many accounts of cops showing up and attempting to arrest the magnet fisher for any number of reasons.
UXO is no fucking joke, don’t for a second think you can handle it without training. You really have no idea what explosive compound they used or what it’s stability level is after being exposed to the elements.
Why wouldn’t you have just loaded it into the transporter buffer and then wiped the pattern (or beamed it harmlessly into space), Mr O’Brien?
Unfortunately due to some temporal shenanigans, I’m stuck here without so much as a self-sealing stem bolt.
No transporter system.
Besides, why would I want to wipe my pattern buffer
prisonersguestsexperiments?A real engineer would’ve been able to make a mnemonic circuit using stone knives and bear skins.
Look, if you want to wrangle with a bear to try and get that pelt, you go right ahead.
I’ve had enough suffering in my lifetimes, I’m hunkering down and waiting for the department of temporal investigations to show up and take me home.
Besides, you need at least 3μg of pergium, which I’m sure I don’t have to remind anyone is not native to the solar system.
Can’t talk for UK, but in Germany there’s a service by the government for cases just like that. No army or stuff, just the Kampfmittelbeseitigungsdienst.
E: “just” at the wrong place
If I own it, does it become Mein Kampfmittelbeseitigungsdienst?

Well, I imagine on nearly every place, the police would arrive before the army.
That would be an addition to my collection most likely, i got a load of ww2 shells, one nearly 3 feet tall with the pin intact.
I never get what type of people report like found treasure and shiz, i’d keep it or sell it to a collector most likely.

Or jump in the air and spread yourself across the scenery if you’re one of the ‘lucky’ ones who finds shell that is still viable.
