When I lived in the UK, unexploded bombs were occasionally dug up, mostly during construction work. Most of the WWII bombs that are still around are the ones that hit wet ground and went in deep, so aren’t usually a problem until you start digging deep for build foundations etc.
Where I lived by the coast shipping mines were washed up after storms, or dragged up in trawler nets. These were usually detonated on the beach, and would rattle the house windows! There was a wreck of a munitions ship in shallow water in the mouth of the river Thames, that has a no go zone around it because it is loaded with explosives.
Some of the land that I worked on had been WWII USAF base. We plough up .50 cal machine gun casings, and the odd live round, along with the usual broken glass and mangled bits of metal.
