An X-ray of a 50mm French Mortar dating back to WWII taken by Marine Corps Base Quantico's explosive ordnance disposal team approximately April 24, 2025. Orange County local Henry Vap accidentally found the mortar on his homestead, calling the OC Sheriff's Department the next day. Larry Griffith, the investigator on the scene, and a captain from the department, identified the mortar, and claimed it could be a live piece of ordnance of military origin, so he notified the explosive ordnance disposal team from MCB Quantico. The EOD team disassembled the ordnance, rendering it to be safe. (Courtesy Photo)
