New Mexico came to visit us last night. 60 MPH gusts and lots of dust.
Fired but unexploded Battleship rounds recovered on Iwo Jima are piled in a munitions scrap area - March 1945
Most of these are 14” HC / HE shells, Note that the nose fuses have been removed, also looks like a few aerial bombs mixed in.
These duds probably resulted from the soft volcanic ash soil on Iwo Jima.
