Lari Tammivuori and Viljami Juutilainen were only expecting to get bottle caps and nails while they were magnetic fishing. What they got was an usual object: an old hand grenade! The boys brought it to Juutilainen's mother, Maarit, to examine the item, as UPI details:
"It was old-fashioned looking and pretty rusty. I said it could be a grenade. His aunt is a police officer so I sent her a few pictures [of the grenade]. We were given clear instructions to step away from it and wait for police to arrive," Maarit Juutilainen said.
Police cordoned off the area and a Defense Forces team was summoned to take the object away. Officials confirmed it was an explosive device, but did not disclose how old the object was or whether it still was live.
