Hell you still find explosives from WW2 all over. It really is difficult.

True that. I used to work in the Netherlands, and sometimes it seemed like every other week the rail network was disrupted by a newly-discovered unexploded bomb, left over from the plastering the Allied air forces gave the Dutch railways.

WW2? We're still finding explosives from WW1 in Belgium


It's also worth pointing out that the front lines in WWI didn't come anywhere close to Toulouse. XD

Just few months ago, a 1,000-pound WWII bomb was found in Hong Kong. The city had been a battlefield between Japanese and Allied forces.

Indeed. With landmines from 90's at least general areas are known, there's signage and if you're not being stupid by venturing way past signage it's all really safe to be around.
