Metal detectorists carry unexploded munition onto crowded Brno beach

Amateur metal detectorists found what appeared to be unexploded munition beneath the surface of the Brno reservoir on Saturday – and carried it onto a crowded beach. The discovery was made near Sokolské koupaliště, one of the reservoir's most popular beaches, with dozens of people nearby. Police evacuated part of the area and temporarily closed a boat stop before a bomb disposal expert detonated the munition on site. A similar incident occurred at the reservoir last year, when a child found an unexploded grenade while swimming.
