Digging up unexploded ordinance is not for me  The picture of the two guys kneeling next to the bomb, which looks to be several hundred pounds, gave me the willies. Even just one of those motar rounds would be enough to spread you out all over the place. I wonder how you are supposed to know before you sink a shovel blade into the ground if the target is a helmet or a cannon shell...maybe Russian detectors have more advanced target ID setups than ours  |

Reminds me of when I toured Corregidor Island in the Philippines. That island was hit with so much ordnance, when the Americans were holding out from the Japs, and then when the Japs were holding out from the Americans, that almost every handfull of dirt would turn up a spent shell or a bullet.
