A mother and son got a bit of a surprise when they went on a fishing trip together on Mother's Day.

The son's magnet fishing in Helmsley, North Yorkshire, brought up an unusual-looking rusty object.

It was at first believed to part of an old camping stove or farm machinery and transported home to north Hull.

It was only on Monday when suspicions grew about the object that the police were contacted, reports Hull Live.

The British Army's Royal Logistic Corps bomb disposal squad were then called up and after examining the object, identified it as a British practice mortar shell.

Fortunately, it was disposed of with no harm coming to anyone.
