I hope that there aren't any others they haven't found.

german ground is still filled with all kinds of explosive matters - bombs, grenades, rockets, bullets, hand grenades and whatever else ...
bombs are found on a regular basis in every major city and each and every time the hazzle with evacuation and defusing is enormous ...
i'm willing to bet that even in the area where i live several duds are buried in the ground as right here is located between two factories (one of them krauss-maffei) and a railway line is pretty close.
my mother told me stories of bombs exploding in nearby gardens, a flak battery right across the street and low flying fighter planes strafing her on her way to school (she was born 1937), there's a memorial wall in the local church tower naming the civilian victims of our area - one of them is a whole family that must have died in a direct hit on their house ... we even have five strange sinks in a clearing in the forest we all take our doggies out - five perfectly round holes, almost parallel to the tracks of the railway and i'm pretty damn sure that some more fell on the clearing and are still there, i just hope that no pup will dig one out one day!

When I was a child we would hear about civil war artifacts being found down around Charleston and Columbia on a regular basis. Now adays not so much. I suspect they will be finding these things for a long long time now.

James, this happens frequently in Italy too... In my city, three or four years ago, my neighborhood and those nearby were evacueted because a RAF or USAF bomb of WW II was found after an excavation and it had to take by Army bomb. Our territories are still filled with explosives and it easy to find when you dig.

I know that there are bombs still being discovered in England as well. I'm sure that could be said about many of the Western European countries.
I remember my family members showing me a place in Belgium the where there are three markers in the river indicating bombs that could not be removed. Supposedly dropped by Mosquitos trying to dislodge a German position across the river.
I'm sure there are plenty more undiscovered.
