Found beside our place at the beach

[Shakenbake]

Just got a new Manticore and getting used to it beside our place in the sandy driveway. I know these are bullets but what and from when? Any Id appreciated, these were about 10 feet apart.

. 50 cal.
Lots were spent during WW2 along the beaches doing training.
They sound great even a foot down.

I see the difference between them now.
From the crimp/neck area.

a proper measurement of diameter would help answer a lot of your questions.

North Myrtle still has a lot of ammo. Mainly just off the beach.

Cool finds - yes, they look like 50 cal. from here.

The crimp is high on the bullet.
My .50 cal. Crimp is located down by the OP's little finger nail.

Pepperj is correct. They can be found many places along the east coast.

I have to agree that they are .50 caliber. The 20 mm was an exploding round and was steel with a brass traveling band. I find the traveling band pieces frequently at the beach and have found one shell casing as well.

Good luck, stay safe and keep swingin.
