From time to time they find unexploded bombs usually by someone digging in the area. This is unusual because they found both of them within a few days of each other. I’m sure there are more out there.

Just glad no one got hurt.

I heard the old BBC Series “Danger UXB” from the 80’s was pretty good. A bit before my time but maybe something to check out?
