Regarding the base plug, I had a bag of them years ago that I had doug up on an old WW2 training area......... spent many a summer evening armed with my metal detector and folding shovel scouring the area.
Found everything from .303 cases, live rounds, grenade plugs, also parts of the Bakelite grenade, 2" mortar fins, parachute flares and smoke bombs and a few Live 2" HE mortars that had failed to go off..... back to the Grenades it was not long after the war and the same area as I used to go, a group of the local lads had found a No36 ........cant remember the full story now but have mentioned it before, think one was killed and one lost an eye......
