Nothing special, where I live we have this chips factory called farm frites. They buy their patatoes from the southern part of Holland, Belgium and nothern France. They have a powerful magnetic plate above the entrance convayer belt to pick out shells and handgrenades. Around patato harvesting time the dutch EOD service has it' s weekly collecting moment to pick up the steel harvest.
 
At some farms on the Somme they have a wheelbarrow full of grenades taken off the conveyer belt with each crop off the fields.
