Lots Of Interesting Beach Finds

[fishy]

Well this thread sort of falls into three categories, I chose beach because its where I found it all.
Beach, ordnance and ID help.

Took my lad with me to the beach in some very strong wind which made things hard work.
I forgot my had hat, the sound of the wind whistling around my headphones was horrendous.

Most of this stuff came from a patch of mud we found last time. Seems to be a natural collection area.

My favourite find was a musket ball. Its my first one.

Any comments on the photos, ID or general info would be great

Bounty Hunter Tracker IV







Not sure what coin this is.





A 1961 shilling in excellent condition under the brown stuff which will come off easy.





I think this is off a necklace. It is a blue flower on ceramic mounted on metal.



Like an old .303 but short?



Yet to discover what this is. Cleaned off some crap and found a nice shiny bit.





Any suggestions on this?





No idea.


Part of a big bullet?


Old 10p caused some confusion for my son. It says new 10p on it



Thanks for looking

It's a 9mm bullet.

No idea.

It looks like a Mills Grenade filler cap.

Part of a big bullet?

This is a piece of artillery drive band.

[william holmes]

that long 303 your on about looks like a 38 caliber pistol bullet to me

Yes, I'd have said .38 too. But can't remember if .38 are slightly shorter in length?

Hi,have to say I think the small bullet is a .30 carbine bullet fired from a .30 carbine M1 and the round it fires is classed as a pistol calibre (see picture) These are not to be confused with 30.06 calibre bullet which some people call a .30 cal as these are fired from high velocity rifles.

see if this can help on the left are two 303's then a 9mm then two 38's

[Chopper]

I think hobster has nailed it... looks like a .30cal carbine bullet.

I've got one here somewhere. I'll dig it out

Hi

Some nice finds Very nice 20mm cartridge and in decent condition.

Now there is no easy way of saying this, but I am afraid I disagree with Chopper The 'long' 9mm you have isn't. It is an M1 carbine 30cal round. I can also see an M1 cartridge on your group photo.

Sorry chopper !
