An “immense amount” of artifacts from World War II have been found by researchers scouring waters off the coast of Guam, but it’s recommended you not get too close. The discovery is a scattered arsenal of unexploded mortar shells and artillery, remnants of battles tied to the Japanese invasion of the island in the western Pacific Ocean, according to researchers working with the National Park Service. These echoes of the conflict include not only unexploded ordnance (UXO) unwisely “dumped” by the U.S. military, but bombs that missed their intended target. “These are rounds fired from Navy ships and they didn’t make it to shore, or they were going in the opposite direction, as the Japanese fired shells at Marines as they were landing,” according to National Park Service archaeologist Annie Wright Nunn, a principal Investigator for the project.
