Hi all
Due to lots of life changes last year, I've not been out and about much but did manage a few relic recovery trips. Thought it about time I got back on the horse, so here are a few items I recovered last year from an old RAOC depot.
A nice haul from one visit to this site, where they disposed of unwanted ordnance at the end of WW2.
You can find a full report on the finds on my blog posts.

All items are completely free from any explosive compounds and are perfectly legal to possess.
Bottoms from 40mm Bofors shells
Big chunk of drive band from a 40mm shell, booster tube from the same, and a 20mm Oerlikon cartridge case
Headstamp on the 20mm
Spigot mortar drill round with a brass cap. Never seen one with this brass cap before!
