Hey fellow relic hunters,
I have always wanted to find a shell, but in my 2 2-1/2 years of metal detecting, I've never found one. Well today, I found 6!! (more info on the finds came be found at http://www.mytreasurespot.com/forums/re ... msg-301883 However, now i'm faced with the task of having 5 of them disarmed as well as cleaning/preserving them. I'm my previous expierences, the experts here have been extremly helpfull. Any advice would be greatly apprciated.
Also, all of these were found within an aprox 20x20 feet area. Aren't all of them fired? Also, I believe both sides used these types, so determining US/CS usage from just the type of munition is probably no possible, right?
Thanks for the help. I still feel as though I'm floating!
