Thanks mate, just dropped it at local police station yesterday arvo. Really sucked as it was an old one. I only keep legal stuff so all good

I agree Heatho,...however, upon close inspection, the bullet appears to be too long out of the throat....my $$ is someone found the two and put them together... either way, just use a bullet remover, take out the powder, and replace the bullet...no longer classed as ammunition...just a relic of a spent era..

Turn the powder into a sparkler for the kiddies...(joke )

Well went back to the WW1 & WW grounds and i had heard there were US soldiers here. Found this shell that had me wondering. Turns out its a US WW2 1942 M carbine .30cal round L C means Lake city florida where it was made. Found a projectile not far away that hadnt hit anything so put them together safe

Nice finds TM, what did the copper say when you walked in with a live 303 bullet?

haha i started off by saying i have something in my pocket that i dont want you to destroy . Took it out and gave it to him showing the date. He was suprised and he acually has a collection himself. I said i dont mind if he makes it safe and keeps it as long as it doesnt get destroyed.
Wrote me up a reciept that i handed it in and took a photo of it.

Bet I know where that one is going, straight to the pool room!

Well last weekend was a good one. Back to the WW2 bunker area.
Found the 1940's "ELOX" babies or young girls bracelet engraved " Rose". Im thinking it might of been dropped by a soldier

Info i found from someone else reaserching a item they found....
Vintage Aluminum ELOX Chain Bracelet

I had to do a bit of research on this bracelet. I believe it to be from approx 1940's. It is a light weight metal with a coppery or rose gold color.

It is stamped ELOX on the clasp. ELOX is an abbreviation for "electrolytic oxidation of aluminum". A term popular in Germany in the 40's.

ELOX stamped on a piece means that it will not tarnish.

Also finally found a 1940 WW2 bullet shell. Found a head to go on it to complete it

I also found my first muskett ball. It has been fired and hit something as the other side is dented
