Was setting out some points for roadworks and saw this police ribbon but nobody todl me anything. I didn't see it was a bomb (WW II most likely). Passed it some ten times.

Then the bomb squad arrived and i was removed from the area:-)

Just how explosive of a fellow are you?

It would seem that someone picked it up from where it was buried and placed it there. Belgian Chris has posted similar pictures in the past. I can't imagine what that's like to be digging knowing what might be there.

How about living over the stuff.
This was big time news in FL.

They find them all of the time but mainly in western flanders. Where i work mostly it's rare. Road works kept going on, there was a Building construction site at 200m, nobody cared and went on with theorie jobs

I know a surveyor who once found what appeared to be unexploded ordinance on a job site. Being ex-military, he knew what it was, so he called to report it. He said no one seemed to concerned until he told them he was near a school, then everything went nuts - bomb squad, news reporters, etc. It turned out to be inert training rounds, but still scary.

We have an area in northern Oklahoma called the Salt Plains. It's about a twenty sq. mi. area of desolate salt flats. There is a crystal that forms in the salts and the Park Rangers allow folks to dig for the crystals. It was also a good place to practice aerial bombing in WWII...

While they have uncovered a few practice bombs over the years the most startling was a Boy Scout Troop that uncovered a few vials of WWII era chemical weapon style blistering agent. The park was closed and a search revealed hundreds of the vials still hidden in the flats....:(
