No Odders.
If you read the post, I used to collect
cartridges, not find them, you couldn't
find cartridges in that condition metal
detecting, some of those on the picture
are over 150 years old.
The two cartridges on the right are .303,
notice the bullets are blue, they are wooden
bullets specially produced for the film
"The Longest Day", the wooden projectile
was to make the Vickers machine gun work.
on the end of the barrel was a disrupter,
which chewed the wooden bullet up,
if you ever see that film again, and look
closely you can see the sawdust pilling
up on the ground in front of the Vickers.
