Have you ever been cleaning out your house and found something strange? For this Pontiac woman, cleaning out her basement gave her a few surprises.
A Pontiac woman called police when she discovered what appeared to be military explosives in her basement Sunday morning.
“The homeowner advised that while cleaning the basement she found two cylinder shaped objects inside of a green ammunition box,” Oakland County sheriff’s officials said.
The lady put them outside where the Michigan State Police Bomb Squad came and took care of them. The Bomb Squad identified the items as U.S. Military training devices used to simulate a mortar round and “an incendiary element that could have caused injury if not handled properly.”

Hey It’s Ryan, let me start off by saying…YES, I was born and raised in Wixom, Michigan although a lot of listeners like to joke that I am from Arizona. WCSX has always been my radio home, I have been at the station since I was a 23-year-old intern, co-host of Big Jim’s House, married with kids. Family and radio are what I love, but don’t get me started on golf!
Like some, I have become obsessed with golf and you can hear all about that on “The Ball Washer Pod” right here on WCSX. One of my other passions is helping out the Vets. Since coming to WCSX I have been apart of raising hundreds of thousands for local vet groups. Other than that, I am a goofy guy, loving life, my family and talking to you on the radio. Ryan writes about golf, family and what happens on “Big Jim’s House.”
