G'day johnnn,  I see you found some WW II bomb fragments, I collected quite a few bits of them and Took them to the scrap yard and I made good money from them, they are worth about 5 to 10 times more than Lead because they are made of a Copper / Bronze Mix and those screw thread bits are from the Noes  Cones/Fuse timers, So you have A few Bucks worth there, Aye, Great

  Not Bomb Fragments.   Buy the Rifling marks they was Anti Aircraft shells.  Tons of the stuff was sent up to knock the ass holes down.  Funny enough I worked in the same building that was used for the Battle of Britten doing Telecommunication  1979 - 2005   At RAF Uxbridge.    Look it up.  You will see the Battle planing table and open building.  When I was there they added an second floor and stuff.
