Iraq - Huge Buried Weapons Cache Found

I mean huge.

WASHINGTON -- Iraqi and U.S. forces have removed more than 4,200 mortar rounds from a major weapons cache found Nov. 27 outside an abandoned military base near Kirkuk, Iraq, military officials reported.
[...]

The ammunition was buried under concrete blocks with dirt mounded on top. All ammunition removed so far has come from one mound located in a field full of similar mounds. The explosives ordnance disposal team at the site expects to find more rounds as the search expands throughout the field.
