Surely you jest......... you've never been on a Special Forces demo range have you?
I’d be interested in seeing the cache site……. and what it was packed in and how it was marked. Then you’d know if they were dealing with a professional or amateur. From the looks of the recovered explosives I’d said he knew what he was doing and best be on the look out for LAWS, nades and ammo…………..
I’m betting it was the former home of DB Cooper.
Edit to add:
ATF: Stolen military explosives found in Pine buried for 20 years

Federal authorities are seeking the public's help with information about a stash of military explosives that were unearthed by a construction crew working in a northern Arizona community late last year.
The explosives were discovered Oct. 27 by a construction crew clearing a path in Pine, which is located about 15 miles north of Payson on State Route 87, according to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
The items include 80 M112 blocks of military C4 explosive, nine M18A1 Claymore anti-personnel mines with firing devices and one roll of military detonating cord, the ATF said in a press release.
Officials believe the items were stolen and buried there for 20 years, according to the ATF, which added that the items were buried about 5 feet underground
inside large plastic pipes.

Packed in plastic pipes, you're looking for a "professional"
Sorry ATF LEO dudes..... those explosives could have been taken years after the stamped dates on them....................
I was in OKI when an EOD guy gave us top secret "limpet mine" material to blow up. It was dated 1945.
