The plastic-wrapped, 10 pound object was found by a sorter at the Western Placer Waste Management facility Tuesday afternoon.

Authorities dug a hole in a field away from structures and used a bomb squad robot to detonate the object safely.
Officials are now working to determine exactly what the object was.
