SOUTHWEST MIAMI-DADE, FLA. (WSVN) - Crews found decades-old military gear while digging in the backyard of a home in Miami-Dade, Thursday.
A parachute, helmet and even military car parts were discovered at the home on Southwest 283rd Lane off Biscayne Drive.
The homeowner called police as a safety precaution.
“I was worried because it looked like — they told me — it was a military mine,” he said. “They were in the military and said, ‘You better call the police, you know? Because you never know what you could have found — a bomb or something down there.'”
Officials did respond and found no explosives, however.
The homeowner was building a new pool when he found the military gear.
