Ah, so, there was nothing left in them, I take it.

Pity.

Just salt water and some sand, we did find unexploded shells as well, I guess after 60+ years underwater they would be harmless

Make no such assumptions. Ammunition can become very unstable under those conditions. Dispose of them with the local police for your own safety, mate.

It's all about that moment when metal that hasn't seen the light of day for generations frees itself from the soil and presents itself to me.

Only if they were black powder, cordite, now, being a cellulose relative, could break down any time and blow or simply deteriorate enough not to blow. Look at nitroglycerine, a distant relative of cordite, it deteriorates (ages,) turns milky and can go up with the slightest jiggle. Cordite/gun cotton is made by virtually  the same process

Old ammo is not to be played with.
