A month after work crews dug up a piece of Canadian military history at the PNE in Vancouver , officials say they've found more.

The first find was a captured German Howitzer from the First World War , taken as a trophy by Canadian soldiers.

The guns were moved to Hastings Park in the 1930s with plans to make a permanent display, but the Great Depression scuttled that plan.

By the 1940s , they were viewed as “junk,” and it's believed they were ultimately used to fill in a ravine on the site.
