The Elko Bomb Squad safely disposed of ordnance found near South Fork on Monday.Â

Police say members from the Elko Bomb Squad responded to the remote property after being notified by the Elko County Sheriff's Office that the owners of the property had found a backpack containing what appeared to be a modified "pineapple" style grenade and dynamite.
Â
Elko Bomb Squad personnel responded and determined that the grenade and dynamite, as well as one electric blasting cap and a Vietnam-era smoke grenade, could be safely detonated on the property, near Meadow View Drive.

If you suspect that you have improperly stored explosives on your property, contact your local authorities.
