Richard Swaffield, 49, had taken his 15-year-old son Alfie to the River Stour in Canford Magna, Dorset, to explore the waters after being gifted a fishing magnet only one week earlier for his birthday. It was there Mr Swaffield, a property landlord, immediately recognised the device he lugged to the surface to be a Second World War mortar bomb. A mortar bomb - or shell - is an explosive projectile fired from a mortar weapon aimed at enemy targets and was frequently used during the war.
