Ammunition Canisters Found Near Hiking Trail In Marin County
A hiker on "Trail 6A" off the Eagle Trail just outside the Homestead Valley area of Mill Valley found two ammunition canisters.
MARIN COUNTY, CA — Officers with the Berkeley Police Department bomb squad worked Sunday night to neutralize what appeared to be some old unexploded ordnance or ammunition, the Marin County Sheriff's Office said.
A hiker on "Trail 6A" off the Eagle Trail just outside the Homestead Valley area of Mill Valley, and just outside the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, found two military-green ammunition canisters — one above-ground, with wires and blasting caps and the second partially buries near the trail, said Sheriff's Lt. Jesse Klinge.
"It looked like it was getting readied to be blown up," he said.
