Metal detecting find


Recommended Posts

Just found a bullet while out metal detecting. Its a colt .45 bullet. Not sure of legalities with regard to owning a live bullet that i havent got a cert for so i disposed of it. Thought id share a pic. Was going to clean it all up but thought there was no point.

I found a full clip of 7.92 Kar98 ammunition when I was in France. It was near a system of WW2 German bunkers. I was well chuffed and thought it was pretty interesting but then realised that I would be breaking the law and be hung out to dry if caught with them on the ferry home. The were corroded and unusable but knowing customs....
