Metal Detecting

Found on the slope of a wooded valley on one of my permissions. I believe the larger bit to be part of a rifle grenade?

The base plugs are all marked No5 and variously dated 1916 with different makers. When I find these on the Somme they are intact with screw thread on sides-these are blown out

Nice finds. Your other bits are from rodded rifle grenades, possibly no. 3. Hang on and I'll find you a pic......

Got one

Hope that helps

Thanks rppg

Some parts are from no5 grenades

Or no23 maybe.

From the land of the Bluenose.....never have seen that before. Sort of scary too think about. Thanks for posting!

All inert parts of grenades! I must say I dug very carefully. Been to France many times and seen live ones laying innocently on top of fields!
