Hey there! Here's an odd story that'll make you think twice before diving into the water during a late-night key search.

Last Friday, in the peaceful town of Neuruppin, Ostprignitz-Ruppin district, an unassuming woman found herself locked out of her home, having accidentally dropped her key into the Rhin— a tributary of the Havel. Little did she know that her simple key search would end up unearthing a piece of World War II history.

As the sun started to set, our brave heroine braved the cold and stepped into the river, on a mission to retrieve her key. As she reached for the elusive object, her fingers connected with something long, rusty, and surprisingly heavy. Excitedly, she dragged the improbable treasure onto the riverbank.

Much to her surprise, the Talisman of Dread—or as the police's ordnance disposal service called it, a Russian anti-tank grenade—was now hers. Scratch one mystery, introduce another—where had this relic been all this time? Fortunately, the brave woman had the good sense to summon the experts before tinkering with her discovery.

The ordnance disposal service promptly arrived, identiying the rusty object as a dangerous relic from the past. They safely removed the grenade from the scene. As for our lady's key... we haven't heard the final chapter in that tale yet.

Stay tuned for updates on this exciting archaeological find! Who knows? Maybe this thrilling discovery will lead to even more fascinating stories buried deep beneath the waters of Neuruppin.
