Amazing to think that there are still dead people from WW2 hidden under the soil ordinary people are walking on. Reminds me how there are still unexploded shells popping up here and there in Belgium and France from WW1.
Here in Germany too. My dad even found a hand grenade with some friends when they were kids.
There is a new undetonated bomb found about once per year or so where I live(Aachen). But roman structures are way more common here. Basically every new construction, they dig up a roman wall or something similar, and then they have to get archeologogists to check out if it is significant enough to be preserved. The whole city is littered with windows in the floor to see those structures.
I remember reading about a dude in Germany who had a Panther tank in his garage lmao. How do you even stumble upon that hahaha!
