Est. Estimated Value: $10 Million* (Cost of Cleanup).
It’s not as offensive as treasure and gold. It was found that there were live World War II Bombs hidden in a neighborhood of Orlando, Florida.
It was once PineCastle Jeep Range where WWII bombs were tested by WWII engineers. In a 10-million-dollar effort, the Army Corps was required to clean up all of the bombs. In 2008, little red flags marked the locations of the bombs in the well-kept gardens. People were understandably outraged by the U.S. government’s decision to allow properties built on an old bomb testing range.
