munitions thread -
More public benefits from the aforementioned FUDS program, courtesy USACE. 
Shellfish processors (clam oyster etc) in Delaware and New Jersey discard 
non-meat items in large piles, during their initial sort of dredge catches. 
Local contractors buy the shell by the dump-truck load and travel around the 
Delmarva selling it and spreading it on driveways of individual home owners.

Turns out returning navel vessels from "Dubya Dubya Two" (wait, isn't that 
the president?) would dump (inventory is SO BORING) unwanted munitions in 
the Delaware Bay and offshore Atlantic Approaches, often on top of shell 
fish beds which are still commercially worked.

So our guys get to drive around Delvarva, checking out driveways for 
grenades, artillery shells, and other odd explosive stuff delivered by the 
home improvement guys along with the driveway cover.

Don't laugh; a LOT of it has been found. If you visit a friend on Delmarva, 
you might want to park on the road.
