artillery shell

[Arctica]

Today’s field hunt gave an unpleasant surprise… Unexploded artillery shell. As soon as I realized what that rusty and muddy cylinder actually is I gave a call to authorities. Finnish army professionals will take care of the shell.



Other finds were just usual field items.

Yep WW1 shrapnel shell. Finnish army will take care of this one. This was found from 1918 civil war battlesite. Could be very dangerous.

Sorry I couldn't resist. I'm glad you weren't hurt, must of scared the crap

I like the look of this piece . . . is it part of a pocket knife?

The shell was a shrapnel shell. Originally like this one.

I think it is a side plate of a pocket knife. Looks like silver, but I don't think it is (no markings).

Tiny axe is a toy from 1940s or 1950s.
