While walking to train this morning, I found a shotgun shell on the
street. 12 ga 3.25", it would fit my shotgun. The question is, is it
safe? It has a slightly rusted perimeter of the base, otherwise it
looks fine. Looks like it fell out of someone's garbage.

Safe as in "won't go off by itself", yes. Safe as in "I'd put it
in my shotgun and fire it", well, I wouldn't bother.
