Unexploded artillery round?
- Thread starter BUDFORCE
- Start date
Loly brother said the same thing when I sent him the photo.
Not as such there are several RAF bases here. We found a clip of old rifle cartridges for a Lee Enfield rifle or similar a couple of weeks back, the bullets were missing, and the cartridges were corroded and full of mud, but picking the mud out they still had the white powder charge in.
Edit: these:
I did.
I think it was too heavy to be an oil filter, I mean it felt like it was solid metal. But there are a lot of tractors around here so possible.
Unless I hear an explosion at 3 o'clock in the morning I doubt we will ever hear anything more.
The MOD guy isn't here yet the police car is still sat there, Colchester is a good hour and 45 from here.
So walked up to the MOD, 2 guys there.
They said it was a training round so reasonably inert although there is still some charge in it, they are going to take it back and dispose of it properly.
The only reason they were still there this morning is the clutch on their van broke so they are waiting for it to be fixed. They opened the van and showed us the bomb robot very cool.

It did look a bit like it!
Yea they took it away to be safely disposed of.
Oh yea they showed us that as well, the water gun thing, apparently 150 meter minimum safe distance for that, crazy when you think that it's just water.
