Made me think of the SS Richard Montgomery story!

We were in Belgium last year on a tour. We went to lunch at a farmers house and he showed us his collection of World War 1 hardware that he has plowed up. He also had 3 live shells (stored separately away from the buildings) that he was waiting for the Belgian army to come pick up and dispose. He finds several every year.
