Funny, too, how the Nat Pk people have reacted. We have a large Munitions depot near here that has been disposing of time-expired ordnance for the best part of 60 years. The State Forest behind it has also been extensively used for Mil Ex's for probably just as long. It is still quite possible to find all kind or spent ordnance all through the place, but there are no restrictions throughout the SF at all. It's off limits to the Bush Firefighters during a fire, though, as the firefront sweeps through and it sounds like a Chinese New Year. A couple of years ago, a dump of 25pdr shells and 20mm AA were found that had been buried in a trench, but a nearby creek had eroded it's banks and moved, exposing them. Don't think I'd like to be near that in a fire!
