Stump grinder versus German tank shells.

[Watercourse management]

The shell on the right looks like a German pak 40 75 mm anti tank round, the shell on the left looks a little bigger in diameter in the photo and with two drive bands looks like a he shell.

Wow Dave!

Quite a dinner party story there.

The heads of the shells, do they have screw threads for fuses?

That's normal Stuart, so I would assume that . Didn't stick my fingers in to feel, I might be daft but I ain't that daft.

They were both pretty much the same, although one had more muck on it, I wasn't going to start inspecting them too hard. When I carried them down the garden, there was a sudden exodus by the customers and the neighbours.

I'm sure 70 year old shells ain't as dangerous as people like to make out..

 

all the chemicals must of deteriorated in all those years...

 

Its like that peter Kay Joke about the swans, has anyone ever seen a broken arm..

 

Still, fascinating story none the less...

I'm not surprised people ran, most ww2 explosive contained varying amounts of TNT with other things mixed in, overtime exposed to environmental conditions it can become extremely unstable.

Anything old and leaching we would blow in situ, to dangerous to move.

Is there any subject that you aren't an opinionated pillock about? Why are you sure that 70 year old shells aren't dangerous?

I've just realised that I've fallen into your trap. You just want people to react to your silly statements.

That's me being polite.
