Artillery / New Frag ID

« Last post by Dave on September 21, 2023, 10:04:20 AM »

Here we go again.  Sorry for all the posts asking questions but I have far less iron experience than most of you guys.  I appreciate any and all opinions and responses.  Here we have a very heavy and thick frag found at Spanish Fort, AL.  It is 1.95" thick and seems to correspond closely to the diameter of a US 11" shell (10.87") the best that I can tell which would be from an 11" Dahlgren.  Opinions?  Thoughts?

Headed to Tampa to see the newest addition to the Flower Collection my Just Born Granddaughter Parker. Hope to have a metal detector in her hands as soon as she can walk.

I defer to your superior knowledge of unjacketed pistol bullets seeing as you live so close to Harrisburg.  I will point out that a .410 shotgun (please note proper spelling of "shotgun") is .41 caliber, and even less with a full choke.

What shot guns do you use Mike?  They are .38 and .44.

BTW, all modern.
