U.S. Army Corp. of Engineers contractors with metal detectors were at a Central Florida middle school located near a former World War II bombing range trying to identify buried objects on the property.

On property adjacent to Odyssey Middle School, officials have identified about 1,000 pieces of metal in the same area were live bombs and munitions were found.

Earlier this week, officials collected soil samples to determine if the soil in the area was contaminated.

Workers took soil samples from the area where the bombs were found and discovered the soil contained nitroglycerine -- which is a compound commonly found inside explosives.

Experts said because the school property has already been developed, with land dug up and packed down, it is unlikely they will find dangerous objects.

"In the case of Odyssey Middle School or the homes that have been built on the former ranger, the relative risk is much, much lower," U.S. Army Corp of Engineers Michael Ornella said. "Will I assure you that it is not there? No. But it is highly unlikely in the case of Odyssey Middle School."

Rep. Ric Keller will host a Town Hall meeting at Odyssey Middle School's gymnasium at 6:30 p.m. Representatives from the Orange County School District and the U.S. Army Corp. Of Engineers will be on hand to answer questions.

Odyssey Middle School opens to students in less than two weeks.
