THE boss of a treasure hunt business made an alarming find of her own in her Herefordshire garden.

Amanda Ingham, 56, managed to remain calm when her gardener unearthed a hand grenade in Hope-under- Dinmore on Monday afternoon.

Amanda, who has lived in the house with husband David and her 82-year-old mother Freda since 2010, said the gardener was hoeing an area of shrubbery when he heard the clink of metal.

“He dug a little bit to see what it was and found the grenade,” she added.

“He first thought it was an ornament, but soon realised it was not.”
