"I called the police and stopped people from coming too close. I also dropped it in a bucket of water to try and lessen the explosion, just in case it went off."The 46-year-old said he could see the safety pin had crumbled away after spending at least 80 years rusting on the silty riverbed. Mr Lacey said his young children were initially scared of the device, but soon became fascinated and "excited" by it."It's not the first one that's been found in the area, and I don't think it will be the last," he added his five-year-old son had also been tasked with looking after the school's plushie toy that weekend, which they returned with "a story that no other parent is going to beat".
