In rereading this thread, it brought back memories of my brother and I as kids, in our very Tom Sawyer/Huck Finn adventures living at what had been a WWII air base. Tramping through a field we came upon an inert /empty 500 lb. practice bomb, and carried it home (to neighbors dismay!).
My dad grumbled, and later placed it in the attic after the intrigue wore off.

When we moved away, I noted as we went into the new home states away, the bomb was missing! My dad chuckled as he admitted, he forgot to get it out of the attic.

Always wondered what the new owners thought when they found this!!!!

The things found in old houses!
