They're still digging up mortar rounds regularly on Guam, too.
How big is a "pretty big" mortar round. I've seen a twelve inch mortar but not the rounds. I've heard of 600mm and 800mm mortars. I'd call those pretty big.
The article is not very well written. Too bad since the subject is interesting.
If that's Iraqi "farmland", I'd hate to see what they consider an uncleared patch of brushland... ;-)
