Supposedly, there are some remote crashes in the Black Hills in South Dakota. The USAAF used Conata Basin to the east of the Black Hills as a practice range prior and during to WWII.

I'm sure ordnance disposal from Ellsworth AFB would be out to that property in a heartbeat if they were notified. :aok

or else... just stand back 100 yards or so and try and set it off yourself with a rifle. It might be a fun day of shooting. :D

VERY BAD ADVICE :( the depending on the size etc... the blast / fragments could kill you at that range!

You can actually find some photos of the wreck, here are some if this link works: iltasanomat.fi (http://www.iltasanomat.fi/ulkomaat/harvinainen-havittaja-nostettiin-merenpohjasta---katso-kuvagalleria/art-1288464961345.html) (the article is in Finnish, but there are some pictures).
