Or WW1, which happens in Flanders/Belgium regularly. I think both. Farmers die from time to time plowing or handling old bombs. If you travel around there you may see bombs left by the front gates for a regular pickup service.

More info about the explosions and the pickup service: https://www.flanderstoday.eu/content/iron-harvest

Also Flanders: There is this article avfew months ago about kids going on a youth camp, and bringing grenade parts home in their backpack. Turns out, they thought: nice stones, dug them up, and kept them as souvenirs
