The 105-mm shells, produced in the US, were found in the garden of a resident in Pa Tang commune. They weigh 19 kg each, with five of them having fuses.
All the explosive devices were then transferred to a warehouse before they are defused.
It was the first time such a large number of shells had been unearthed in Pa Tang.
Quang Tri province was one of the hardest-hit provinces in the war. Nearly 400,000ha of the 461,000ha province still contain bombs and mines. Every year, some 2,300-2,500ha of land is cleared.
Since the beginning of 2017 to date, the team has found and removed 2,500 explosive devices.
