A novice metal detectorist sparked a full scale lockdown after discovering an unexploded wartime bomb - during his first time using a metal detector.
Ryan Junor, 39, an off-shore worker and and his son Shay, 15, went out with Ryan's two friends on Tuesday night, eager to try out their new tech. After just ten minutes of searching, they discovered a large chunk of metal in a playing field in Invergordon.
The novice group, who were excited about their find, posted a picture to a local Facebook group - but were soon shocked after being told the item he found was actually an unexploded WWI Stokes mortar bomb. At the advice of other detectorists, he phoned police to handle the situation.
