My last Air Force tour was in EOD (Explosive Ordinance Disposal) you'd be surprised at the stuff still floating around. I was stationed at McDill AFB near Tampa in the early 90's, about twice a year some ex GI would come on base and "confess" to burying various explosive and chemical ordinance on the base during WWII. We'd spend a few days with the old timers wandering around in the Palmettos looking for the stuff, never did find anything. There was an incident in the late 80's when they were cleaning up one of the keys near the mouth of Tampa Bay, they found out that WW II bomber crews training in the area used to drop bombs on that key before landing, in the process of turning the key into a park they uncovered a few UXO's that had to be dealt with. Occasionally the shrimp boats would dredge up something from the Gulf, more than once EOD teams have had to go to harbors and do their stuff on crap the shrimpers brought in. With Florida being a retirement community the local Sheriff's department was doing 3-4 calls a month on "war trophies" turning up in estates. We handled a few civil war cannon balls, our data was a little weak, some of them had black powder charges in the center, a few have dried out and went on to cause problems. A lot of things have turned up in Europe, some enemy ordinance, some land mines/ explosive plants, some allied ordinance and a few destruction charges that were forgotten. Just two years ago up here they had the Peshtigo river drawn down to work on the dam near the mill and Found a WWII hand grenade.
