Pipeman,

I'm also aware of these stories. There were places full of weapons and at the end of the war, there was a lot of "withdraft" of these, so the people in charge decided to stop this... and near the lakes the best, easy and inexpensive way was to trow everything in the water (considering that ours lakes, being from glacial eras, are pretty deep right from the shore... deepest is almost -400m, but belive me you can drop to -100m right if you jump in the water...).
That is why we can found stuff in really good conditions, being under the mud, in fresh water and (maybe) not too dangerous becasue inerted from the warehouse.

But, sometimes also stuff that was founded on the fields, like plane bombs, mortar projectiles, mine and other ammunitions, not inerted and trowed also in the water...
So, becasue of that is not very healty to play with this things, even if underwater...

Ciao!
