2nd post in this thread
10" McIntyre repeating shell:

http://www.bulletandshell.com/Images/Shells/McIntyre_10in_01.jpg

question. I have no knowledge of this shell, was there powder in each level of spheres? what made the outer and center detonate but not the inner core? how did the 2 that did detonate separate almost identical It is obvious detonation and not sawed.
I really like this shell.

Wow!!!  I never looked back at this thread since page 1.  As I sit here iced in, I just went through the next 5 pages of some incredible relics.  There are some truly incredible collections out there- big and small.  I am now going to start cleaning some of my frags...what my wife calls "the rust collection".

I know you love your wife, but advise her that it is blasphemy to call any relic, a rust collection.  :o

My current (favorite) wife knew about my metal detecting fetish when we married 34 years ago.  She means 'Rust Collection" in a nice way.  Come to think of it, 2018 will be my 50th year of metal detecting!

My loving bride had a room built in HER basement so that my rusty junk wouldn't mess up HER house and we have both been very happy about the subject ever since. Plus, the second floor isn't sagging anymore...

It wasn't as much the number as the size of some of the offenders.

I wish, on a cops salary with a red head wife that likes to spend money, 6 year old and another in the oven, due in July. But I do plan on calling you soon about a reconstructed 12 pounder canister. If you have some. I heard you did.

Seems like things have stalled a little in this web site. Ill try t kick start it.

What is some of you guys largest shrapnel?

I still haven't figured out how to post pictures. Do you have to have a separate photo hosting service?
