Might I seriously recommend that you research standard military ordinance if you are coming across that many. Just for your own sake that you can know which to move and which to leave a Marker at. 🤗

[@cindypierce5200]

That is crazy . I’m surprised they didn’t go looking around that same area for more to be on the safe side . I guess that gives you something to go searching for again😊 Be safe and thank you for all you do .

[@stunninglynormal1261]

I am a former military bomb disposal specialist. That is an artillery round, not a mortar or bomb. It has also been fired out of an artillery tube already. You can determine that it has been fired out of a tube because the brass ring towards the base is smeared with the grooves of the barrel rifling. A round that hasn't been shot would have a smooth brass ring. And yes, these are incredibly dangerous. Don't touch it! Mark near the location (not the actual device) then call the police.

[@zachbeach2797]

In your opinion, how do you think these got to this point? Is it possible over time they traveled down the stream? They're all just so close together makes you wonder. Why they are there, who shot them, and how long ago they were shot.

[@alguem24]

What do you think is the reason for them to not have exploded? I see you think somebody tossed them in, so is it possible that they were all duds somebody collected and failed to handle approprietly?

[@stanislavczebinski994]

If you find ordnance again - don't touch it!! Even after decades - you might find out they still work perfectly. A few years ago - a professional EOD tech got killed here in Germany by a WW2 bomb. These grenades won't take down the bridge - but they could rip you to pieces easily. Stay safe!!

[@benpurcell4935]

He doesn’t really have to worry about the shrapnel killing him but the shockwave caused by it because water doesn’t compress easily.

[@coldmoonlight6361]

My takeaways from this video: 1) Fishing is an expensive hobby. 2) If I need a new phone, check the local river. 3) If I'm looking for a stolen bike or scooter, check the local river. 4) If doing either #1, #2, or #3, try not to explode.

[@Spirit_of_Areyto]

Also if you're in need of a knife, check the local river.

[@zachknepper961]

Those are artillery rounds for a WW1-era French 75mm cannon. It was the standard field artillery piece used by France and adopted by the US Army. Hundreds of millions of shells were manufactured. The driving band (the brass ring at the base) is a dead giveaway (most driving bands are solid rings without grooves). In addition, these should be considered extremely dangerous. The conical brass part on top is the fuze. (French 75mm ammunition was manufactured with fuzes attached to the shells, so they could be easily uncrated and fired in battle. Most artillery shells --and certainly all modern shells--are manufactured and shipped with the fuzes separate from the shells, adding a step to the pre-firing process but reducing the risk of accidental detonation in transit and handling.) The fuzes have built in safety features to prevent accidental detonation (and surely decades under water has negated some of the reactivity of the explosive primer). But still, you'd definitely want to handle with care. (I'd have left them alone underwater. Take photos and let the bomb disposal team do the job.)

[@SatisfactionBroughtMeBack]

Cool!

[@PbsMks]

As a former bomb technician, these appear to be WW1 era 75 mm shrapnel rounds with black powder fuzes. Fairy safe to transport, but still holding aged explosives inside. You did the right thing to notify police, but they could use a quick class from their local bomb squad. 😋

@@PbsMks I was thinking WW2 75mm based just on size and an internet search. I'm just a former grunt, so your expertise is probably more accurate.

[@TheBestBryce]

For starters, it's 'fairly,' not 'fairy.' Also, no, you shouldn't transport explosives from a lake. If you're a bomb technician, you should know that someone without the proper training - like the KZbinr in question - shouldn't be handling explosives, especially without protection or knowing what kind of explosive it is. I'm not calling you a liar, but I am questioning your statement.

[@stephenhoward6829]

Rule #1 regarding artillery rounds or other explosive munitions, and this was drummed into my head when qualifying for SCUBA was "DO NOT TOUCH!" Immersion in water doesn't render them safe, and can in fact make them MORE unsafe. In the future, if you see stuff like this, mark the location, get clear, and contact the professionals.

[@nicoj9984]

In general: Yes, don't touch munitions. But since this is in America, those shells were just dumped or lost and have no fuse and primer screwed in - you can even see it in the video that the "tip" is missing. Without the fuse, those munitions are pretty safe to handle, you could even play football with that shell and it wouldn't explode. However, here in Europe it's a different story: most shells/bombs were actually fired/dropped (meaning the fuse and primer were fitted) and just didn't explode for whatever reason. In that case, any slight movement could trigger the mechanical or chemical fuse and the whole thing goes boom. On bigger bombs, the primary charge alone could kill you even if the actual bomb is too decayed too blow up... so no touching!

[@stevemenegaz9824]

I worked in Angola and we had unexploded mines mortar shells everywhere after a 27 year civil war. We had two pros from So. Africa directing the marking and removal. THey gave everybody a training course and the first rule was "If you didnt put it there, dont touch it".Lots of mines and lots of men, women and children missing limbs. The mortat shells were usually fired but did not explode becasue they didnt twist the shell far enough before launching. Extremely dangerous, always blown up in place. We recovered artillery shells from the river routinely. We had a few blow up in the shell catcher on the dredge rig.

If you ever see this copper band on an ogive/cylindrical object: That is a driving band, and a telltale sign of artillery shells. It provides obturation from the gases and is in contact with the rifling of the gun barrel - the same function the copper mantle of bullets has. Mortars are smoothbore and do not have this band. The shell you took out of the water had very distinctive rifling impressions on the band, so it has been fired. The shape of the shell and look of the fuse (the brass tip) identifies this as a live round, most likely a World War I era 18 pounder shell with a No. 85 time fuse in the fuse well. The shell they carried out at the very end of the video has a solid tip and is most likely a practice round containing no explosives.

[@gordon861]

Last time I saw someone pull explosives out of the water, they were told to keep them in a bucket of water rather than let them dry out.

[@Overkill06]

That's right. Pressure, temperature, and just drying out could set them off

[@addisonesslinger3653]

Correct

[@jimdevlin4949]

100% correct even a bucket of water. Keep in water is a must

That wouldn't dry out inside in a year let alone in a day. In the 70s I found a very similar WW1 75mm schrapnel rnd & deactivated it myself along with other projo's, I've still got the lead 1/2" schrapnel balls & M1907 mech time fuze (also deactivated😊)

[@mary-ruthflores4107]

Went to a lecture and they said one of the reasons to keep potential explosives in the waster you found them, if in salt water, don’t put it in fresh water. Isn’t just the drying effect, but the draining of the water can move things inside causing them to destabilize. The best think is not to move them at all. But many times you don’t know what you have till you come up. He suggested a dry bag filled with water for anything suspicious

Basically when you find something like that, step back carefully, and retreat. Mark the place well and call 911. That is called UXO.

The worst to find is one in which the driving band has been engraved by the rifling, suggesting that the shell has been fired and been armed and for some reason has not gone off yet.

It is not a mortar shell. It is an artillery shell because the copper band has rifling score marks where the copper engages the rifling grooves in the artillery barrel. Mortars do not have rifling they are smooth bore and use the tail fins for stabilisation where as artillery like bullets use rifling to spin the shell called spin stabilisation and the groves means it has been fired at some point. Where it’s a high explosive or solid is unknown so it’s always best to treat it like it is a high explosive shell.

All of those are potentially dangerous... the shell you pulled out is the "warhead" (artillery comes separated to allow adjustments to the amount of cordite bags you put in for differing ranges) while there was alot of casings -> new shells are fairly inert (Will not arm unless you fire em, artillery people will scare newbies with em all the time by dropping them etc). Let em rot and rust in water then you have a problem - they are high explosive and the trigger mech may have been damaged - so when you see the fuse (top bit you pointed at) and the ring (bottom bit - for rifling) DO NOT TOUCH - secondly - those other casing - have artillery sized percussion caps in them - also a bad idea to touch - lay em on the side and dont let the bottom hit anything.

[@quinszar]

Those are M335A2 illumination rounds for the m30 4.2" mortar. these are used alot by national guard units. good thing is they can be taken apart and the unit issued them will be found by serial numbers. and the person responsible for dumping them will be arrested.

[@thomasbeirne8213]

Yeah, I thought it looked a bit big for a 60mm, especially the older 60mm mortar rounds that have a very distinct shape. Columbus GA, home of the Infantry, Rangers, Airborne School for many decades. Probably lots of boom stuff lying around :).

[@rogerwilco2]

Why not 105mm artillery or tank round?

[@quinszar]

@@rogerwilco2 its not big enough a 105 or a 155 takes two to carry.

[@ShawnF6FHellcat]

My first thought was 105mm artillery training rounds, but the problem with that theory is that they appeared to have been fired (rifling marks in the rings), yet were all in the same place, and were relatively intact... So as someone who is mostly only acquainted with ordinance through War Thunder and some KZbin, it's nice to know that I was actually pretty damn close.

[@ShawnF6FHellcat]

@@quinszar Since it was a 4.2" mortar shell, which is about 106mm, I'd say it was definitely big enough; plus, a live WWII 105mm projectile only weighed about 36lbs. It was certainly too small to be 155 though.

[@RaccoonRepublic]

Last scene of the dude carrying one while he's on his phone with the other hand kinda proves that the level of actual concern was low 🤣

[@waynemanning3262]

The bombs are fired artillery projectiles, the grooves on the driving bands indicate that they have been fired. The condition of the fuse looks too good to have been fired. My best guess is they were dad’s or grand dad’s collection of deactivated projectiles that mom or grandma didn’t want around the house after they died

[@ironnoodle7992]

I was born, raised and served in the USAF. One day I was driving by a squadron building and saw a bunch of airmen sitting in chairs, laughing and chilling in the outdoors having a good time. I thought to myself that it must be nice not working while I was busting my ass in 100+ degree weather trying to get supplies on time to an aircraft so it could continue with the ongoing wargames. Then I passed their squadron sign and it said "EOD, Explosive Ordinance Disposal". Sometimes, some people deserve more than just downtime sitting in a chair.

[@rora8503]

The city I live in in Germany that was heavly bombed in the 2nd World War. Construction worker usually find about one bomb a year. It is some what "normal", because everyone knows this happens every once in a while. If nessary the nearby neighbourhoods are evacuated or informed that they might hear an explosion.

[@SkinnyObelix]

Here in Belgium, we find unexploded ordnance from WWI on a daily basis. To the point there's a bomb truck doing weekly rounds like a garbage collector. Everything smaller than a 2l bottle we put by the side of the road for pickup, only for larger bombs the bomb squad comes out.

[@mythalda0040]

that moment when you realize you're surrounded by a bunch of bombs

[@essexfarmer9610]

I think that the bombs are actually artillery shells, because the copper ring with ridges on the rear of the shell are designed to engage with the machined spiralled rifling grooves on the inside of the artillery barrel to cause the shell to spin when its fired and it travels up the barrel to aid stabilisation of the shell body and therefore accuracy to hit its target.

[@bertram_oredrock]

That would be my opinion too. They're inert (dummy rounds) used for practice but, why were they left there in a shallow river near a bridge? Is there a Military base nearby?

[@tracymccrary9378]

Fort Moore (formerly Benning) is there. It has Infantry, Armor, Ranger units, among others.

[@Dover78]

@@bertram_oredrock They don't look inert; one has a mostly intact fuse and that yellow material they're packed with looks just like explosive. And yeah, Fort Benning is a few miles South on the river so that's probably why they're there. I'd be curious to know how they ended up in the river.

[@raycaldwell25]

The proper term is Ordnance. Moving them out of the water has the potential to trigger them if they are properly sealed and equipped with timers. Best to photograph in place and present to authorities with exact locations and remain on site to secure and increase successful recovery.

[@kiowablue2862]

And in this case unexploded ordinance. (UXO)

[@thomasschimmeyer8715]

That looks like a WW1 era US issue 75mm used in the M1916 field gun. It was in service from 1916 to 1942, added to many infantry packs as weight during training. Somehow some of these have made it into rivers near training grounds from that era. :P

[@thomasschimmeyer8715]

@@franks2100 No actually you can clearly see the driving band at the base of the shell. The shell itself is steel being fired from a steel barrel that is rifled. In order to get the shell to spin to increase its accuracy they wrap a band of brass around the shell. Due to its softer nature it deforms into the steel rifling of the barrel when fired. The one he lifted is unfired, if it had been fired its standard pattern would have deformed diagonally. Interesting note, everyone in the world made a different driving band pattern for their shells. So you can identify fragments of fired shells by this alone.

[@Tegnekul]

Looks like a 75 mm artillery shell used by the M1897, the grandfather of all modern artillery. You can tell that is have been fired by the lateral grooves in the ring towards the bottom.

[@alexanderla101]

wow looks pretty spot on, those grooves made from the rifling?

[@InLawsAttic]

What time period do you guess they are from and why there? Any idea?

[@Evil_Emperor_Zurg]

​@@InLawsAtticthe 75mm artillery entered US service in 1927, I can't find a date for when they were completely retired from service but I can find a date for the m116 75mm Howitzer being used in 1962. The spot he's diving is just a few miles away from Ft. Benning and well within the range of a Howitzer. However, with the number of rounds he found in close proximity I'd wager a guess that they were dumped there by some soldiers who were told to make them disappear. Funnily enough, he found these a few hundred feet away from the civil war naval museum, and just down river of the world's largest urban white water course.

[@ushiocheng]

Okay, divers finding guns is one thing but finding bombs is a whole another level of treasure hunting. Never expected to see content like this but man I appreciate your effort to clean them up. Also some tips if this ever happen again. When you figure out it is possibly a bomb you have already taken a close look so gental handelig is fine. However taking it out of the water made me nervous as a unused explosive is pretty safe but an unexploded ordinance (UXO) can explode at any moment for way too many reasons depend on why the original triggering mechanism didn't work and draining water out of it might just be enough to set those off. Take a random container and scoop the possibly bomb up with the water to avoid that. Another thing if you are curious, the fact that there is a bunch of them all together and the solders just casually take them out of the water probably means someone dumped some unused morter shells there likely around WW2, those are really safe unless you screw with it (hit the back with a rock or something stupid).
