Even a hundred years after the beginning of World War I, farmers living on the former battlefields near Ypres in Belgium, dig up duds on a daily basis while ploughing their fields. The Belgian Army recommends to immediately cordon off any finding site and to refrain from touching the often extremely unstable ammunition. Most farmers shy the hassle and timeloss and have developed a rather relaxed attitude towards their findings. The duds and other remainings of the war end up by the roadside, where they are regularly collected by Army Forces or find their place in sheds, gardens or hobbyist collections. Surprisingly, accidents seem to be rare.
