    EA, I am so glad you continued at that spot. I might have missed something along the line, but I think the question now should be Why? Why was all that training stuff even buried and not taken away with the personnel?

    Looks like M1 Garand clips with blank cartridges. After a field exercise someone buried the drum and the soldiers dropped any left over blanks and smoke grenades into the drum. And they covered it back up. They couldn't turn it back in my guess is this is from the 1950s. When i was a seabee we would do our field exercise at camp shelby MS. And after wards we would line up and shoot the rest of our blanks and smoke grenades. It was a blast. Cleaning the rifles after blank ammo is not a blast

    Never really got to do metal detecting, Im in east Tenn, I think I may give it a try. Thanks for the inspiration. I own a pew shop so would be cool to find an old pew and rebuild it. Thanks again

    All those that are eight rounds together are enbloc clips for an M1 Garrand rifle.

    It just boggles my mind that all of that ammunition was just buried instead of used. WHAT A WASTE!
    NOW, it also scares me for you to be sticking your hands down in that junk because WHAT IF they put chemicals of some kind on top.
    OH and FYI the Korean War was 1950-1953.
    My Dad was in the Vietnam war in 1966 thru early 1968. That "CONFLICT" was between 1954-1975.

    The army sure didn't get what they paid for in cleaning up that site. Maybe you can send them a bill.

    • @marthamitchell9452

      They only pick up the big obvious stuff they can’t hide. In southern Oregon they acquired a lot of farm land for a training camp for WWII. They did bury the cemeteries under tons of dirt to protect them and cleared them when they left. They allowed the farmers to repurchase their land but they left ammo bunkers and replica German pillboxes they had constructed for training and lots of surprises for the farmers every time they plowed the land. Live grenades and mortars and some phosphorus grenades that would start burning after they were exposed to the air and dried out.

    • @marthamitchell9452
      @marthamitchell9452 Рік тому +1

      @@kathylouise1936 yes! One guy in Sams Valley plowed up a phosphorus grenade and set it on a stump and kept working. Later he found the stump burning. Good thing he didn’t just chuck it in the trees. You know what happens then. We left the area in 2019 so we missed the Obenchain fire which was in our neighborhood.

    • @kathylouise1936
      @kathylouise1936 Рік тому

      @Martha Mitchell You are lucky to have missed the fires. The army was definitely not careful on how, or where, they disposed of all these toxic munitions.
