>>25382 Ha! Good conversation pieces if nothing else.

I'll bet young JC rolled in a mine stroller ;D

>>25369 I think these scuba divers are part of a mine removal team (don't know what the rose is for) and the rope is placed away from the contact point on the end. Supposedly, it's hauled out to sea and exploded.
>>25375 You kept the bombs by the front door?

When I was a teenager we lived near a WW2 practice bombing range. We found several incendiary bombs when digging in the garden. We kept them all in a pile by the front door XD
A few years before we moved there the local farmer ploughed up a small bomb up and it blew up the back end of the tractor XD

a hammer, a ship, a scuba diver
all of the above ;)

Great stories! I have no experience with mines. So what does it take to make one explode - how temperamental are they?

here's another true story: WW2 mines/bombs are still found today in our sea and land, our specialists have a field day to clear them. They prefer the sea mines (cause they can blow them up on the spot)

Here's a true story. When I was a child and my family went to the Galveston beach, every once and a while a mine would break its mooring and float up ashore. The army guys would stand off and shoot it and make it explode.

oh no! Seafox, get away from her! She about to explode!
