Although the article doesn't state, it probably was
a U.S. grenade. Because the sack came from France,
one would suspect that the French don't know the
war is over! Smile

From what I've read, people are still digging up and
finding explosives, clothing, weapons, vehicle parts,
etc. in Belgium were battles were fought.
Amazing!
