Is There a Bomb in our Village Pond.

I was born in 1933 and was six years old at the outbreak of W.W.2.
We lived in a village some fifteen miles south of London called Burgh Heath and were, therefor, in a direct line for the German planes on their way to bomb London and later on we were right under the 'Doodlebugs' as they came in.
My experiences of my childhood and the war have been recorded in a book for my grandchildren (18 at last count)to read and include my theory that there may be an unexploded bomb in the village pond, hence the title of the book 'Is there a bomb in our village pond'.
Authorities have been Approached over this and they agree that there is a possibility but to drain the pond to investigate would be too costly. However, I submit that if I am right and the bomb went off, theer might be a costly destrucction of town houses which now ring the pond.
I can expand on my theory if anyone is interested.
