More Bullets

[DickH]

I went back to the beach where I had previously found an armor piercing live round. I detected about a half mile along the waterline and back. Took me about 5 hours and finished at low tide {-3.5}. Found all the bullets in a thirty foot stretch. All twenty rounds are unfired - one of the large ones had been pinched to remove the slug, but the primer is intact.
Got some interesting junk: a broken oar lock, several square shank nails of varying sizes, a pyramid and whale lead fishing weights, a Canadian Buzz Bomb, a fish shaped lure, a dime and three memorial cents, nail clippers, some misc unknown thingumabobs, and finally a crud encrusted pocket knife {going to have to be careful trying to clean that up}. Had a fun day at the beach in the sun. Dick

Glad you had fun and got out! What year do you think the bullets where?
