"Magnet Fishermen Uncover Second WWII-Era Ordnance in Massachusetts River"

Two magnet fishing hobbyists in Massachusetts have recently discovered military projectiles in the Charles River, raising concerns about the sudden appearance of old ordnance in the area. The latest find, a deteriorated bazooka round potentially from World War II, was pulled from the river by Josh Parker, while a similar discovery was made just days earlier by another magnet fisherman. Both projectiles were safely disposed of by the Massachusetts State Police bomb squad. The incidents have prompted questions about why these objects are suddenly appearing in the river, with authorities noting that it's uncommon for ordnance to be found in bodies of water through magnet fishing.
