If you have found explosive ordnance, contact the police immediately on emergency number 110 or the local regulatory authority. This is regardless of whether you find them on your own property or in other places, such as forests. Often explosive ordnance is no longer recognizable as such. They can be rusted or encrusted with soil.

Attention!
