The team was deployed out of Fort Carson and was able to locate the device thanks to the special care the hiker took in photographing and documenting the landmine and reporting it to the Eagle County Sheriff’s Office. The report came in on July 20. The Sheriff’s Office, in a Facebook post on Tuesday, said the team explained that the landmine was left behind “from the training day of the 10th Mountain Division that was stationed at Camp Hale.” The event has been the latest in a long line of discoveries by hikers at Camp Hale, going back to the 1940s in Eagle County. Constructed in 1942, Camp Hale is a former U.S. Army World War II training site that hosted an estimated 14,000 troops before being decommissioned in November of 1945. The site was designated as a National Monument by President Biden in 2022.
