TONTO NATIONAL FOREST, Ariz. - A man searching for buried treasure with a metal detector found a box of grenades instead around 10 a.m. Friday.

This happened about a mile away from the Bush and Beeline Highways.

The box wasn't tampered with and authorities were called immediately.

"He found a box that actually said grenades on it..and we're going to investigate to find out exactly what was in there," said Chris Hegstrom of the Maricopa County Sheriff's office. "It looks like it may be from the mid '80s...if they're actually grenades."

At this time there are no traffic restrictions.
