Six Decades After War, Cleanup Is a Constant
By Craig Whitlock
Washington Post Foreign Service
Wednesday, January 31, 2007; Page A10
FUERSTENSEE, Germany

Deep in the Pomeranian forest, hidden among the groves of scraggly pine and birch, the World War II bomb squad is hard at work.

At 11:15 on an overcast winter morning, Alfred Buchholz carefully guides his spade into the sandy loam on the forest floor, aiming for the exact spot where a co-worker's squawking magnetometer has signaled the presence of metal. He strikes something hard and bends down to grab an object the size of a softball, encrusted with corrosion and dirt.

It's a piece of an artillery shell, circa 1945. Buchholz shakes off the loose dirt and plunks it into a black plastic bucket, already half-filled with remnants of war. He stands back up and waits a few minutes for the metal detector, passing back and forth over the soil, to beep again. He repeats the routine -. . . . . .

Article sure makes it sound dangerous for the relic hunters detecting in the woods.
