or round objects should be a sign of alarm, especially if buttons, rings or little pegs can be identified or
felt. The same applies to recognizable ammunition or bullets and shells. Leave that stuff where it is, do
not touch anything and, most importantly, do not take any of it home with you. The killing machines of
war made use of diabolical inventions such as rocker fuses, acid fuses and ball fuses. Those components
have been rusting away in the course of time, and the slightest movement may cause parts of them to
break and be triggered. Even seemingly harmless objects such as cartridges or large ammunition are
anything but that. Explosives may have become crystalline over time, that is, sugar-like crystals have
formed.
Moving such an object may cause those crystals to produce friction, leading to an explosion. If you come
across such relics, mark the place and do not fail to report the find to the police. Such objects always
pose a danger to the life of hikers, walkers, farmers, children and animals.
