[Clowgon]

A suspected unexploded World War II bomb has been discovered on a beach in Kent, police have said. The bomb, said to be 8in (20.3cm) in diameter, was found on Broadstairs beach, near the town's pier.
Police have cordoned off the area while bomb disposal experts from the Royal Marines investigate.
It is not yet known if they will carry out a controlled explosion or try to defuse it. The officer in charge said no one was in any danger.

My dad used to that sort thing, go and disfuse it.
Chances are there will be a controlled explosion on it.
Defusing is too risky

how come this gets on the news? Loads of unexploded bombs are discovered every day..
In my street (bombed heavily during war because of airbus etc), a few months ago they found a bomb in my street and they sectioned off the street, and my neighbors came round for a cup of tea cus they had to stay out of their house all night, they put sandbags over the grass and blew it up.

My neighbor discovered it and thought it wasnt active until acid started leaking out.

Because it isnt anything new in your area.
