A pile of scrap metal used for military ordnance has been collected on the site of a military construction project in northern Guam. This pile does not contain munitions, but contractors comb over every square inch of freshly turned dirt from the safety of a blast box to identify potential munitions or archeological artifacts before sorting the anomalies into piles for recycling.
On military construction sites in Guam, ground clearing occurs six inches at a time. Anomalies are reported to a UXO technician or archeologist for further assessment.
Some project sites are particularly challenging due to excessive amounts of metal waste and man-made debris that were left in the jungle decades ago.
