ASINGAN, Pangasinan, Philippines — At least 50 pieces of vintage grenades and ammunition were dug up by a farmer as he was plowing his farm in Barangay Baro in this town on Saturday morning. 

Rico Marquez, 21, found the grenades and ammunition at around 7:30 a.m. in Sitio Panagidan.

Marquez told police his plow hit something and was surprised to find the ammunition.

Village residents said that during the World War II, soldiers passed through the area on their way to Nueva Ecija.
