While plowing a field in western Slovakia, a farmer hit a “rock.” This wasn’t the first time the annoying “rock” had gotten in his way, but he decided it was going to be the last time. He started digging — and found an unusual World War II artifact. As the farmer in Kostolná-Záriečie dug, a circular concrete structure started to emerge, the Monument Office of the Slovak Republic said in a Dec. 11 news release. Photos shared by the village of Chocholná-Velčice in an Oct. 17 Facebook post show the excavation process. The partially buried object looks almost like a crater.
