A few bits from 6 weeks ago

I was out with my TDI Beachunter on a low tide spot and a few pieces of British ordnance related brass came up, including a lovely Royal Artillery button.

Transport plug from an Armstrong shell




Brass fuse collar from a spherical diaphragm shell




Lovely button

Nice finds, are they from a military facility there?

More a target practice area, for every nice brass part we are digging 20-30 pieces of shrapnel.

What was the button doing there? Unsure but maybe he was down there checking on the targets...we will never know 👍
