Hi was calibrating my detector and stumbled across this casing buried 20mm deep in thick bush (south east qld hinterland) on top of a mountain look-out thats inaccessible to the general public.

A little spit and a rub on my workshirt shows some headstamp info. Can someone ID this for me.

I have since found several for these with the pictured being in the best condition.

Thanks.
