Another WW2 find

[reddirt]

Here's a WW2 mortar I came across while hiking in the jungle. My uncle called EOD and they positively I'D.ed it and dentonated it on the spot. I took pics of the damage the day after.

I bet that's one you might not hit with the shovel too many times! I hope I never find anything like that. DD

Just FYI, that's an artillary round, not a mortar. Cool find though. Thanks for the pics, and congrats!!

When I was stationed in Guam, found alot of that stuff, decided to stop digging on the base

I hope I never find anything explosive
