re: #799 laZardo

Farmers along the German-French border (and that pretty much includes most of Western France and Eastern Germany) routinely find old munitions. Some will place them by the side of the road for pickup by the EODs, but some explosives are so large that they require special attention.

Also, cities around Europe routinely find unexploded bombs - and I’m talking 250 pounders or larger that need to be dealt with specially because they could take out entire blocks - in the course of building and excavating for new construction.
