Three White's, one Fisher and a Minelab.....I'm beginning to wonder if I am a metal detectorist .....or a collector of metal detectors?

Looks like limestone on the inside, can you confirm limestone on the beachhead at all?, UK is loaded with limestone. I've seen iron concretion in conjunction with limestone but not covering. Is it magnetic? I would cross post over to the rocks minerals section to let the wizards hash it out.

Maybe this could be Iron?
Looks a little iron like, but if its not some kind of natural iron stone, & its a metal jacket, then probably just a bit of smelting junk/workings.
