Do old unexploded bombs ever just go off on their own, or do they always need a trigger? (Moving them, etc.)
The main danger is that the fuse is damaged by rust and erosion, and not all fuses were designed to be fail-safe. Such a damaged fuse can then activate on being tampered or moved. But a burrowed, undiscovered bomb going off on its own, I don't think such a thing ever happened.
