An Air Force Civil Engineering Squadron in the United Kingdom
uncovered the largest-ever haul of unexploded World War II ordnance
on record for a U.S. engineer regiment.

The 48th Civil Engineering Squadron in April recovered a total of 370
.50-caliber rounds from a construction site at the Royal Air Force
(RAF) Lakenheath station, where construction on a new airport was set
to begin.
Good thing they had experts over there to deal with it! Why, the
entire base might have been destroyed!
I'm sure it was just days away before those rounds began firing
spontaneously and killiing everyone within a half mile radius.
We used to bury that shit so we wouldn't have to count every fucking round
and fill out three forms explaining why we didn't expend it in order to
turn it back into the armory.

Imagine having to count all the unexpended ammo from a 40 man
platoon or an infantry company of three platoons. Use your head
and your E Tool first!
