Construction workers renovating a school playground in France over the summer vacation made a discovery that made their blood run cold. Beneath the school's sandbox more than 200 mortar shells, grenades, and nearly a ton of machine gun cartridges from the Second World War. The ammunition was uncovered on July 11 in the courtyard of the Jules-Verne Elementary School in the town of Tain-l'Hermitage Drôme in southeastern France.
