Korean War era incendiary bomb

I was hiking out in Fairview Mountains yesterday and in a remote steep rocky canyon I found a device. I took pictures of it and sent them to a friend that has worked in the Airforce for almost thirty years, and he passed them along to the Beale AFB explosive ordinance team. Here is the response he got back from them based on the photos I sent:

" Here's the reply I received from our Explosive Ordnance Disposal Flight:
-----------------------------------------------
"Chief,
Your friend appears to have discovered a Korean War era incendiary bomb.
It's hard to determine the size of the device from the pictures, but
I would assume any functioning of an incendiary device in that area would
be B...A...D. It also looks as if it was dropped from an aircraft and
so might have internal damage causing it to be more sensitive to
external forces that may cause it to function.

I would recommend they contact local law enforcement to ensure a
qualified DoD EOD team responds."
-------------------------------------

Sounds dangerous. Incendiary devices are mainly used to quickly start fires,
especially where they will have large effects, such as fuel or munitions storage areas.
The sheriff or fire department should know how to contact the nearest Explosive Ordnance Disposal
team (probably at Twentynine Palms Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center). EOD commonly
refers to objects like the one you found as "Unexploded Ordnance" or "UXO". "

I did contact the local law enforcement who sent over an officer to look at the information I had and at my photos, and after a few hours they took me up in the police chopper to show them where this device was. I had never been up in a helicopter before and today it was very windy and our flight was just before the snow hit the Apple Valley area. A bit exciting to say the least bouncing around just above the rocky peaks and steep canyons of Fairview Mountains :-) Got sick to my stomach but didn't barf :-) They took me back down after I pointed it out to them, and then two bomb experts went back up, one carry a silver cylinder which I assumed was some type of explosive. The deputy who took me home said that the bomb officers were planning on blowing up the device. My Mom, who writes some opinion articles for the Daily Press called up the paper and told them about the story so I'm waiting to see if they put an article in the paper about it. Guess I better start wearing my hard hat when I hike out there, bombs falling from the sky and all :-)
