Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Things found while hunting?

Once while in the 1980's I was duck hunting tidal marshes on the New Jersy coast and I saw at my feet several 50 caliber bullets that had been fired with the lands and grooves etched in and within 20 feet as the tide went down I found 3 bomblets about 12 to 14 inches long with the fins on one end and the rounded end that looked like the top of a bowling pin on the other. I was so amazed I picked them up and stacked them together near where my seat was and then had a WTF moment and realized that there was no way to figure out if they were inert or not. I walked about 50 yards away and stayed away. There is a lot of unexploded ordnance on the coast still. Just last winter they did a beach reclamation project and a lot of WWI era munitions ended up on the beach and the army spent a fortune clearing the beaches.
