If you live near the Carolina Forest area, there’s a good chance your home could have been built atop a WWII era bombing range. Those rusty old explosives are still being found over 70 years later. In August of this year the Horry County Police department warned on their Facebook page that they were preparing to detonate a unexploded ordnance in the Carolina Forest area. The corroded, cylindrical shaped objects shown in the photo had likely been lying beneath the surface since the 1940s. The HCPD Bomb Squad and the U.S. Air Force EOD from Shaw Air Force Base safely disposed of the ordnance according to their post. Thousands of similar munitions have been found in the area in the decades since it was a designated bombing and gunnery range by the U.S. Army Air Corps.
