That's nothing.
Here in the states where the American Civil War was fought, there are still people being killed by unexploded 18th century ordinance. (It's probably not as prevalent here as it would be on continental Europe, but the thought of artillery shells from the 1860s still being capable of exploding and killing someone boggles the mind!)
And having lived on the battlefield of Mechanicsville Virginia (during the 7 days battles), I've found plenty of spent .58 minis all over the place as well as fragments of exploded shells. |
Wasn't the American Civil war during the 19th century? Unless you mean the War of Independance.
