I was searching the dunes where there was WW2 activity and found a deep/wide dune pit that I'm fairly certain they used as a range. I've found maybe twenty or thirty .45 ACP bullets previously and a ton of brass shrapnel. The beach floods into this area during storms and peak high tide, uncovering more buried bullets that I've found on top of the sand. I went back with my girlfriend, and she noticed just the top of this canister barely sticking out of the sand. We started to scrape sand away and realized it went deep! Fully dug it out and noticed it's an empty canister for 3" cannon artillery! The bottom says 3" and is dated 1953. We suspect soldiers brought it there and buried it upright to use as target practice because it's riddled with bullet holes. The coolest military relic I've found so far!
