It is standard policy for the military to bury junk....especially when they leave a combat zone. A division has engineers...engineers have bulldozers. AND, especially when they close a base and/or leave an area.
If they buried them, they won't be in one piece....they'll have been pushed in the the hole, had the wings hacked off and etc.
I saw a trailer once. The owner said that he was using a metal detector out in the desert, in AZ, where Patton got ready to go to N-Africa. He found a pintle donut, about 12" deep in the dirt. They kept digging until they found the rest of the trailer. He towed it around w/his Landcruiser.
In Saudi, the 24th ID made a hole in the ground. It was 100 yards long, the width of a bulldozer blade, about 5' deep. All of their un-expended ordinance went in the hole. Then, it got filled in. The Saudis don't even know that it is on their property [ROFL1][IMG]file:///C:/Users/Helen/AppData/Local/Temp/moz-screenshot-20.png[/IMG] [IMG]file:///C:/Users/Helen/AppData/Local/Temp/moz-screenshot-21.png[/IMG]
