Succes finds for today!

[AFZAL]

Hello people,

Today I was on my local forest for metal detecting and i found lots of good stuff.

Now, does anyone have a hint as to what the hell the big slug cartrige was used for? Also, the rectangular thing looks weird to me, thinking it might have been a stamp, maybe?

I would think the large diameter silver cartridge casing (at least it looks like a cartridge case, not sure about the markings though) is for a flare gun.

8 guage shotgun shell, that other thing kinda reminds me of a mail drop slot of sorts

8 guage shotgun shell is just a guess, flare gun is probably correct.

I’m wondering if those 2 band bullets (minies?) might be .54 caliber Lorenz rifle
