However, upon closer inspection, it became evident that this discovery was anything but ordinary.

With a mix of apprehension and disbelief, the bin men quickly realized that the “pie tin” was, in fact, a landmine. The shocking revelation sent ripples of concern through the team, and they promptly contacted the local authorities to report the find.
