A Detroit police bomb squad robot placed the device between two nearby trees and detonated it, the station reported.

"I was right here and I was talking to my cousin and as soon as I turned around I looked over there and, boom!" said one man, who was in the area during the explosion.

Police are now working to determine who is responsible for making the explosive device.

Dive teams found several other items in the river on Thursday, including: two handguns, two large knives, a GMC Yukon SUV, a Pontiac Sunbird, half of a truck, half of a van, and a motorcycle.

The gun that police were searching for was not found.

    They should keep looking because they may be close to locating those "missing" Iraqi explosives.

    The river is a favorate dumping spot for stolen and/or stripped vehicles (when they don't park em on the side of I-75 and burn them). I'm surprised they didn't find more than they did (including a body or 2).

    I'm wondering what they did with the other half!
