Ahh, Altus AFB and Fort Sill Oklahoma, Home of the FIELD ARTILLERY! Sounds like your friend was extremely resourceful and VERY LUCKY that he didn't wind up in an artillery impact zone. That UXO can come back to haunt years after it didn't go bang.

Fort Sill is the Artillery training post for all of the branches of the DoD, and many foreign countries attend also. If you still have contact with him, send him a note that he was very lucky.
