Back in the 1980’s, in Massachusetts, (near Cape Cod)a housing contractor was digging a hole for the foundation.He heard some clunking noises while excavating. He got out and found something that looked like bombs! The state police identified them as mortar rounds! It seems that up unitil the 1950’s, the land had been part of an army post, and this house was being built on what was the practice firing range!The army came by, with metal detectors, dug up over 100 unexploded rounds!! The contractor was able to finish the house. (Although he must have done so while sweating all the time)
