With ammunition sometimes missing target and penetrator cores sometimes exiting the other side of the target, i imagine tungsten cores fired during WW2 were seldom collected. Are they still found today?

Why do you? While it is possible that some are still hidden a) as opposite to WWI & II shells and aviation bombs, they were fired in a flat trajectory (less chance of them becoming buried) and b) tungsten is a valuable metal. I would guess also that less of those were fired than shells or bombs, but I am not completely sure. – SJuan76 Aug 10 '17 at 19:34
