Owners of a family attraction have told of their shock after a metal detectorist told them what they thought was a muddy sweet potato was actually a WWl hand grenade.
Bosses at Avon Valley Adventure and Wildlife Park, Keynsham, were shown images of the grenade by a detectorist looking for historical artefacts on their fields.
And as soon as they learned that it wasn’t a vegetable, they called out the police and the bomb squad. They managed to remove the mud-covered grenade from fields at the attraction without putting anyone in danger.
