The first ordnance to be discovered in Needham this past week may be even older, according to the Mass. State Police: "Last week a magnet fisherman pulled a deteriorated projectile, believed to date from the WW1 or WW2 era, from the same stretch of river." It is still unconfirmed as to why these 20th-century projectiles are being found both at the present time and in the Charles River. Some local magnet fishermen shared anecdotally that the projectiles may have fallen off shipments in the river during World War II. The City of Needham, Massachusetts did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.
