Re: A Bomb Discovered at a Chinese Construction in Phnom Penh
As a bomb tech (military stuff, not IED's), I do not recognise it. What I can say is the patina on it indicates to more recent (not weathered corroded). Is it actually a bomb?

"Is it actually a bomb?"
Yeah, that was my question as well. Too often UXOs are referred to as "bombs."

It looks like a US M67 fragmentation grenade.

I am only going by the photos... looks far bigger than a grenade... looks like soccer ball size.

It looks like one of those old-timey howitzer shells. Is it someone's urn?
