You do know that thing could still be live. I would be careful if I were you! :yay:

That looks really long for a mortar round of that size.

I'm GUESSING 60mm, maybe 81mm if it is a mortar round, but the stem seems awful long for a mortar round.

Looks more like it could be a bazooka round, or something similar. Some kind of Anti-tank round.

Either way, lot of people have died messing with things they found like that.. including a lot of people that should have known better.

News reported it as an inert bazooka round.

I never touched it, what ever it is. The bomb tech did not seem to worried about picking it up and walking away with it. See all the pictures I took at PhotosbyDan's photos (http://www.photosbydan.smugmug.com)

That's what I guessed..

The tube between the head and the fins seemed way to long for a Mortar round. It's purpose on a mortar round is to hold powder bags and cheese charges.. It's not flying fast enough or stratight enough to need it for stability in the air.
