Pre-WWII detonating devicefound in New Hampshire church shed

MERRIMACK, N.H. -- A church employee made a discovery that brought out the bomb squad.

The worker at the Merrimack Valley Baptist Church found a pre-WWII detonating device while cleaning out a shed on Wednesday. Police say the device apparently was a fusing system for a large shell, and it was live.

The bomb squad packaged the detonator and will turn it over to the military.

Police learned the relic apparently was left behind by a military enthusiast who used to live in a home that is now part of the church property.
