The valley of river Soca, the area of the front between Austria-Hungary and Italy during the great war is full of these artifacts. Almost nothing but mountains so no plow or construction ever un-earthed them. Anyone that ever went up there with a metal detector found something. And some were killed, some of the amunition is still live.

It's striking how long munitions will still remain dangerous. A couple years ago we had a guy get blown up and killed messing around with a civil war cannonball.

Americans think 200 years is a long time, Europeans think 200 miles is a long drive.
