Unless they were still in their shipping containers, packed in cosmoline, they are probably rusted to the point of being worthless.

But there might be some brass gauges worth something to collectors.

Could be a great opportunity for Metal Detectorist to search the riverbed for bronze age weapons.

It sounds like some serious disarmament activities might be needed before salvaging the pre nuclear metal. Any experts out there on demining etc.? Or would all the explosives be drowned by now from shell case rusting?
