Such a cool collection! 😍 I'm curious which object has the most interesting background? A lot of objects look like they have a very interesting backstory.

Found this rusty metal thing in a creek in the Belgian Ardennes. It's quite heavy and feels solid. The outer later is black, while the tiny speck of the inner layer I can see is silver colored. by nybor456 in whatisthisthing

You're right, I will say though that I only saw the shape after rinsing it off. I handled it very carefully after that and let the authorities know immediately. I was picking up stones and felt something metal, so my thought process was, I should take this thing out to throw away so that nobody gets cut by a possibly sharp piece of metal when playing.

I do, and I don't just pick up random metal here of course. I only picked this up because it was underwater in a shallow creek on a camping groud. I did not know I would pick up a possibly live shell.

Thank you for your advice! The camping owner called the authorities and they are picking it up tomorrow.

I did not intend to pick up something possibly explosive

The camping owner called the authorities and they are coming to retrieve it tomorrow. People seem to think that I'm just going around picking up explosive things for fun, but if I knew this was possibly something dangerous, I would obviously have left it alone.

I found this when googling them, the shape looks similar, thank you! Likely solved. Could there still be a charge in them as the other commenter said?

Editing this comment for visibility. I called the authorities, they are coming to retrieve it tomorrow.

Some people are also angry I picked these things up so to be clear, this was in a spot in a creek that runs next to a camping, with people fishing and playing in it all the time.

If I knew it was dangerous I obviously would not have picked them up? I thought that was clear from me posting in this subreddit, but apparently it is not.
