The museum I work at was in a similar situation.  I contacted local law
enforcement which in turn put me in touch with a local US Army base and
ultimately a bomb squad.  Talk about an easy case for deaccessionng!

Morris,
 
When we discover live ammunition in our collections, we contact our local
law enforcement.  They come pick up the ammunition and dispose of it
properly.

	Hello All-
	
	I can't remember which museum listserve(s) I saw this on, and I
didn't need the information at the time so I didn't file it, but we have
discovered live ammunition rounds in our collections and need to know who to
contact to dispose of them. 
	
	Thanks for your help.
