Properties within the 100m-300m [328-984ft] zone are being advised to open windows and draw curtains," said a spokesman for the police department in Plymouth. </p><p>Workers on the site discovered the bomb at about 10:30 a.m. local time in Plymouth, England on Brentor Road. </p><p>Reports say that the bomb is sticking out of the ground by about 6 inches, and weighed an estimated 113 kilograms, or 250 pounds, but could have weighed as much as 500 pounds. </p><p>"The item was protruding about six inches from the ground and was described as being up to 10-inches in diameter," said a spokesman for the Devon and Cornwall Police. </p><p>The Army bomb disposal team from <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wales" class="extiw" title="w:Wales">Wales</a> is currently trying to figure out what to do with the bomb and it could take several hours before authorities can dispose of it.
