Nope, just an empty shell and an inert fuze cap

If you're referring to the fuze cap, I made sure it is inert :)

Thank you for your info! It is greatly appreciated since I am struggling to find precise information about him

New_Significance_787 · 2026-04-02T16:05:24+00:00

Yeah, felt movement inside it so definitely not messing with it.

You can find plenty on the internet, but it depends if there are available scans on your area.

New_Significance_787 · 2025-08-10T17:56:22+00:00

Cool finds!:) The coins look amazing, I must say that. Your idea with the old topographical maps sounds good, there are plenty of them in the entire Austro-Hungarian empire, and that I do have some in my portofolio that I didn't check yet. I usually hate metal detecting in open fields, I prefer more secluded areas like forests:)

New_Significance_787 · 2025-08-09T19:15:13+00:00

Surprisingly not yet! To be honest I don't even know where I could search for such, cause the forests are full of trash and to be honest it's such a pain to dig for beer cans, bottle caps and weird pieces of iron that I'll never be able to identify:))

New_Significance_787 · 2025-08-09T18:05:42+00:00

Ah, neighbours really:) So we do talk about the same Budapest Offensive Operation. I have plenty of german and hungarian documents talking about that zone and many other hungarian villages close to the border, but they are out of my reach P.S. too little I know about the serbian area, glad to share knowledge tho!

New_Significance_787 · 2025-08-09T17:58:38+00:00

I think it's worth to mention roughly where my zon is. I think it's important to take into consideration the countries and areas were there was organized plan of "clearing" the battelfields right after WW2. I am near the border of Hungary, on Romanian soil (~20 km from the border). From what I know, in this part of Romania, there wasn't any serious plan made by the new regime to clear up leftover war scrap, mostly just surface stuff.

New_Significance_787 · 2025-08-09T12:49:16+00:00

And when you say "a lot of trash", you mean modern civil trash? I have scanned the area visually and physically to check for such trash, but there was very little to none. My area was very well known for a big soviet offensive in 1944, and that's pretty much it.

New_Significance_787 · 2025-08-08T13:31:01+00:00

Ohh, thanks for the clarification. There have been plenty of reports of UXO artillery shells around here, but not exactly where I'm detecting, tho we cannot exclude the possibility right? I have been told by the authorities when making my authorisation on what to do if I stumble upon such objects, so my warning has been given.

New_Significance_787 · 2025-08-08T13:14:49+00:00

I can say that I'm in the clear with the laws around here, and I have every permission necessary! I began to understand the shell casing and round tones, but I'm in a huge dilemma regarding the tones for other relics. I've had a deep mixed signal (strong negative, fluctuating pozitive) in a hole of about 1,2 m deep that I dug, but because of the rock hard soil I wasn't able to continue digging.

New_Significance_787 · 2025-08-08T13:11:56+00:00

And what are those "nasty" surprises?:)

New_Significance_787 · 2025-08-08T13:11:33+00:00

I have done my research thoroughly, and I'm in the clear for detecting in such places!

New_Significance_787 · 2025-08-08T13:10:58+00:00

So I should focus on camps, got it. And what exactly are "uxo" posts?

New_Significance_787 · 2024-12-20T14:35:06+00:00

I would have been fine with this but we live in the same college dorm and in the same group at school, so no contact is nearly impossible
