It's been a rainy day today and am stuck inside. Thought that I would share some pictures of shell fragments that I found metal detecting in W. Germanyicon when stationed there back in the late 70's. Found hundreds of pounds of the stuff, but only brought back a few pieces. I have given away a lot of it over the past 30 years.

Lots of what I found was live and un-exploded. You name it...mortar and artillery rounds, land mines, hand grenades, anti-aircraft rounds, rifle and machine gun rounds, both German and American. Everything pictured here is German. The larger fragment with the driving band still intact is close to 100mm in diameter. You can still make out the waffenamt on the base. The aluminum fuses are waffenamt'd as well. Mike
