Ubaldo Mijares and his sons were clearing their North Texas property when Mijares spotted something sticking out of the base of a tree. He says, “I never seen nothing like that. First time, I think it’s a bottle for oil.” But when he later showed his boss what he dug up, Mijares recalls, “He said it’s a bomb.” Specifically, an old artillery shell from a 155 Howitzer. It stood nearly two feet tall and weighed roughly 65 pounds. “We certainly believed it was a live round and easily could have caused damage and destruction had it been set off," said the local sheriff. "I’ve never seen anything like this."
