"It's unlikely any of the explosives would detonate, but they are potentially extremely dangerous, said Keith Watson, the project manager for the [Army Corps of Engineers]. An explosion, he said, "would clearly blow your arm off and throw shrapnel at high velocity up to 50 or 60 feet." - excerpt from this Philly.com article describing the Army Corps' recent beach fill project in Surf City, NJ.
