SSgt Marian Mitchell SSG Michael Noll - I believe that the UK has a regulation similar to what we have here in the US. If construction unearths a burial site the government has to be informed and depending on the type of bones a forensic or archeological team is dispatched before further excavation takes place. Failure to request and attain official permission can cause legal problems.

Charlie, when I was a kid those things were our toys. We would find all sorts of UXO and ammo, take them apart, and use the explosive substance to make our own bombs. I don't recommend this sort of game, but we had a lot of fun blowing stuff up.

God takes care fools and babies. I did a few dangerous things was a kid also. We were too young to be fools. So, that meant that The Great Spirit was definitely taking care of us.(IMHO)

MSG Felipe De Leon Brown absolutely! To this day I can’t believe we didn’t get blown up, it was a higher power that kept us safe. If I would do the same thing today, taking a hammer and chisel to a UXO, it would definitely blow me sky high, but I sinned quite a bit in the meantime... lol
