For Adam Willcome and his friends, they went from enjoying a calm day kayaking on the water to finding possible explosives.

(The following is a transcription of the full broadcast story)

Magnet fishing content creator Adam Willcome was out on the water filming with his buddies at Lakeside Park on Saturday.

But Willcome says the energy changed after a member of the group found what he believed was an old grenade.

“He was fishing right about at this post,” Willcome pointed out. “He tossed his magnet right about out there. That’s when he pulled up the first grenade.”

When the group moved in closer, Willcome says that’s when his magnet picked up a second one.

“I couldn’t believe my eyes what I saw when the next one came out of the water. I kind of just shouted to everybody else ‘hey! Look what I got here!’”
