(Daily Mail) – A couple who recently moved into a rented home discovered a cache of 7,500 bullets in a pond in their back garden.
Neil Tipping, 33, who lives with his girlfriend Eleanor Mercer, 32, made the shocking discovery while he was clearing weeds from the water feature.
He said he saw a flash of metal and thought it was a piece of gold, but upon closer inspection he found that it was actually a bullet.
Police officers arrived at the house where they discovered 2.2mm rifle rounds, up to 30 machine gun rounds, shotgun cartridges, and a cache of 9mm and 8mm rounds.
Check out those “machinegun” rounds. They look suspiciously like .22 long rifle cartridges, don’t they?
Hands-on: A police officer wearing purple gloves lines up bullets found in pond
Safe: Despite the thousands of bullets that were found, the police did not feel the need to evacuate the couple
OMG! A couple of cartons of .22s! Heavens! Should we evacuate?!
Now the pair are worried there may be more rounds of undiscovered ammunition in their home.
Mr Tipping said: ‘It’s really unnerved us. I’m terrified that next time I’m mowing the lawn I’ll run over a bullet that hasn’t been found yet. One of us could be seriously hurt.
