Officials will try to determine where the two canisters came from as well, the National Park Service said.
The canisters were not described in detail. Their discovery came about three years after an inert World War I-era munition was found elsewhere in the park.A park service worker found the items near Farragut Street NE in a large heap of soil that apparently had been pushed into the park from the nearby street, according to the park service.
About three years ago, the park service discovered an empty metal canister from the World War I era on the ground east of the Metro station. Shells dating from World War I were found about 30 years ago in an upper northwest neighborhood. At least one contained a poison gas.
