ArfieBoy

Just got home after a productive day, gotta charge camera, and post photo's so far i have 3 old brass 303 cartridges, all fired also the speed loader to go with them the cartridges are stamped 2 are 1942 and 1 is 1941, so they are Govt issue, also I dont think the speed loaders were sold on the civilian market, from the same area I found a fired .303 projectile it has stryation marks on it from the rifle barrel and asbsolutly no impact damage, I had to stop detecting in that area, as it used to be an artillery firing range, used by both the US and Australian military during ww2 and there are signs everywhere warning about unexploded shells everywhere, which being a local to the area I know are quite valid sign's because every now and then you get to hear one go off. On the way home, I stopped at an old farmhouse where just the barn is standing the house is gone, inside two very nasty rabbit/dog traps and a welding gauge ive had one of the traps on the polishing wheel as it has writing stamped n the spring and may help date them, and the most curious thing is a very nasty looking, possible comb, it looks like part of some sheep shearing clippers with a metal rod bronzed onto it then hose sliped over the handle for grip,if it is a home made comb one would have to be either brave or stupid to use it as the points are still quite pointy and would do you a very nasty headwound, i will upload photo's as soon as my camera has charged, i would still be there but at the moment it's pouring rain, and local rivers are flooding some are possibly on the news over there. and the river in question is between my house and were i have been cant wait to get back to the farm as i was only there for an hour and it seems like a real treasure trove for relics.
