Geez! Hope they are ok. Not a good idea trying to take apart a possibly active bomb.. Now its worth nothing being possibly radioactive contamination.
I don't want to be a d**k here, but sometimes stupidity is its own reward. Natural selection at work.
Using a blowtorch yet..on a ww2 bomb.
An folks now you know why yard's won't take propane jugs without them being cut in half or holes through them.
Sucks but..like Burly said. Common sense would tell one not to try take apart a bomb, let alone one from WW2.
Don't they have bomb squads in that neck of the world?
Sirscrapalot - Sometimes the one mistake you make, is the last.
one of my fav quotes not trying to take sir scrap's job but "stupid is as stupid does" GUMP
A blow torch? Everyone knows you use a big hammer on those things. I learned that as a kid

A WW2 bomb with the tail section removed looks like a normal cylinder or large ingot. I don't think the construction screw that sold it would have known it was a bomb (nor the people who purchased it). Nobody who finds an intact WW2 bomb will bother moving it unless they are suicidal. You have no idea what one looks like after 70 years in the moist dirt (they are just iron shells and rust like hell).
