Various spent bullets and cartridge casings are in my collection of

Cool. Are you aware of any particular history of such activity on /
over the farm Tim or do you think it's just what you might find most
places?

What I take to be .303 rounds and casings are tiny compared to a 0.5"
bullet, sadly no case.


I assume the cases stayed in the aeroplane (or what would stop them
hitting your mate behind?) and they certainly do on the A10. You
wouldn't want to fly though a cloud of over a 1000 30mm shell casings
coming out at ~70 a second! ;-(

Musket balls a plenty! This must once have been a very dangerous place!


Or lots of duelling farmers? ;-)
