I don't usually post spent shell casings but this one is a bit unusual !
This was still in my rainjacket pocket from my foundation dig yesterday. I came across it on my walk back to the truck. It was pretty deep for such a large Item, a good 8 in down . But in rang my ears like a jar of silver . I did a little research on it today and to the best of my ability I have surmised it is a WW I 1.45 in or 37mm artillary shell casing. The only marks I can make out is the .911. This Matches closest to a pic of a casing I found on big ordinance.com . They still used this round in WW II but the primer cap was not as simple and none of the marks matched up close to mine ! Just one of those unusual finds I thought you might enjoying viewing. Thanks MaineRelic
