This is what you want to find

Buddy worked EOD in military for 20, then Corps of Engineers for 20 more. In the Corps he worked “clearing” old firing ranges. Down in SC at the old Camp Croft they dug up a live 155 in the backyard of a house built on an old firing range, in Forest Park in St Louis the dug up stokes mortar rounds from WW 1😏
 
a few years ago after superstorm sandy there was a big push for beach replenishment in nj where offshore sand was pumped onto the existing beaches. they came across an old offshore dump sight for WWI munitions and were pumping dozens, if not hundreds of 100+ year old ordnance onto the beach. granted, i am sure sitting at the bottom of the ocean for close to 100 years rendered them inert but you never know. 💣
 
When I was in Germany 1988 to 90 I seem to remember that they found a bomb I know it was in the BX parking lot I don't remember if it was Rammstein Air Force Base or Rhine Main.

I remember them showing the news story on AFN and they had to dig a hole as big as the basement of your house to get that bomb out safely
 
While in the Marine Corps during the early 90s, I was stationed on Guam. Navy and Air Force EOD were called out almost daily for found unexploded ordinance from WWII. And when I was a civilian working for The National Park Service, Padre Island National Seashore, the local police bomb squad was called out a lot for unexploded ordinance found out on the island. Long before the island became a National Seashore, it was a bombing range for the Navy.
 
Was in the bulge in Germany in the middle 70s. Here is why it is an article 15 offense to dig there now.
We where in the middle of reforger and we were told to dig in. Half way down I hit something metal.
I dig it out and came out of the hole holding a WWII motar round.

I got to hold it for 3.5 hours waiting for EOD to come disarm it.
it was a dud.
 
I stepped out of a Humvee at Cottonwood Junction on Fort Carson and almost stepped on a 105 HE round sticking out of the ground.

I told the stupid, female second Lieutenant I was driving around to step out of the vehicle and walk away.

Another stupid, second Lieutenant (I guess that's repetitive) came over and tried to explain what I'd found to me. I let him get it wrong and then explained that I had been a 13Bravo in another life.

I think I got an AAM for my quick thinking.

During a daylight patrol on the DMZ in the ROK we stop for a short break. A young privet says to me look at those 3 twigs sticking out of the ground in a triangle. Then another solder says he's got some by him, we start looking around a see more. The Vietnam Vet. Staff Sargent tells everyone not to move and then proceeds to get each of us out of there one at a time. An old mine field from the Korean war. No medal, accommodation, for that good man, six months later the BLEEPING Army R.I.F.ed him for failure to promote. :censored: :censored: :censored: :censored: :censored: :censored: :censored: :censored: :censored:
