On their birthday, a backyard cleanup turned into a weapons scare when the poster unearthed an RPG in the dirt.
What started as a simple plan to beautify the yard quickly became something else. They spent the day digging through the backyard, pulling up roots and clearing space as part of the birthday project. Then, buried in the ground, they hit something far stranger than tangled roots.
The poster described the moment in one blunt line: "Went on a digging spree removing roots from my backyard and then stumbled across an RPG. Had to call the police, then had to wait for the bomb squad, fire engines, etc."
Once the object was spotted, the digging stopped immediately. The police were called, and from there the quiet birthday project turned into a waiting game. Emergency responders began arriving, including the bomb squad and fire engines, as the situation was handled from a safe distance.
What had begun as backyard beautification ended with the poster standing by while officials took over the scene. Instead of fresh landscaping, the day delivered an unexpected military relic buried under the soil, and a long wait for multiple emergency crews to sort out what had been dug up.
