There is still a fair amount of un-exploded ordinance from WW1 and WW2 in the fields of Europe.

Farmers till up munitions all the time in Europe, they carted out to the roadside and call the EOD and continue farming, the EOD comes picks up the ordnance and takes it off to dispose of properly. It’s known as the Iron Harvest

Yep. In my travels by road in Eastern Europe during the summer occasionally I would see a cordoned off area with danger signs. A lot of old ordnance is only found as the area it is in is developed.

During the Battle of Berlin in WWII the Soviets fired tens of millions of artillery rounds.
