Grenade found among the spuds on Auckland chip factory conveyor belt
Amongst hundreds of thousands of muddy spuds, a World War II-era grenade was picked up on a conveyor belt at an Auckland potato factory earlier this week.
The old Mills bomb grenade, which has since been confirmed as being a training grenade that didn't contain explosives, is believed to have been dug up during harvesting on a farm in Matamata.
Mr Chips factory operations manager Roland Spitaels said the mud-covered device was spotted on a conveyor belt full of freshly harvested potatoes in the early hours of the morning.
