From the June 2, 2015, Chicago Tribune by Greg Trotter.
More than 1,000 "suspected anomalies" lie beneath the ground of a two-acre field overlooking Lake Michigan. This area used to be part of the Army's Fort Sheridan, north of Chicago. Exactly what these are is unknown, but there is a slight possibility some might be munitions are explosives left over from World War II
The Army Corps of Engineers has contracted companies for a five-day dig to take place between June 15 and 19 this month. Just to be sure, a few nearby homes will be evacuated and a popular trail nearby closed.
The site was used for military target practice during World War II, but those "anomalies" are most likely utilities or construction debris from buildings which used to be on the site.

The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.
