What you've found is a practice bomb, the small loop is how it was loaded into aircraft, onto a cable. The lines would be a couple hundred bombs long and would be rapidly deployed. Be careful you don't seem very knowledgeable with ordinance.
I think the circular pillbox is probably World War I as it's mostly brick. That said the Battle headquarters say's it's on an old airfield of some sort (probably bomber) so pillbox type kinda goes out the window for me.
The Bomb was an RAF 10lb training bomb and normally dropped from external bomb racks. That one still has it's "remove before flight" pin so hasn't detonated, the tag actually says don't remove wire or pin until after the bomb is attached to the carrier. They have a small flash charge so that an observer can see the fall location. It probably wouldn't be deadly, but wouldn't be nice. When you find dropped 10lb bombs they look exactly like that as they don't actually explode. The 20MM shell was also a training round, used for simulated ground attacks I suspect the air base had an Operational Training Unit as it's the type of kit they left lying around at the end of the war.
I sure like how you guys document these old historical ww1 & ww2 places and leave them as you find them for others to enjoy. Take nothing but Pictures (Video) & leave nothing but footprints. Preserve the history. Well done mates.
There's a ROC post on the mountain in Maesteg. south wales. Unfortunately about 20 years ago the council have filled the top hatch with concrete. I remember going down there when i was a nipper. It had a long table on the back wall, maps on wall, fire extinguishers and loads of other items. Was then flooded and burnt out. Last time i went to it I found a old terrier cross down there. Had to rescue him out. Always remember it. Probably why I have intrest in your ROC uploads.
You run away from a swarm of bees/wasps yet handle, bang and poke possible unexploded live ammo.... oh come on 😂 it may be rusted and corroded but if live, still dangerous!
The bomb head at 14:00 is inert. It is the head of an 11lb practice bomb. This part had a rod through the centre which hit a detonator in the tail section which activated the titanium tetrachloride smoke generator. The bit IKS found is and always was totally safe.
That entire field looks like a treasure trove. We've got pillboxes and roc posts here in Cambridgeshire but they're all in separate locations. Great vid lads 👌
At 11:40 you almost certainly have a Hispano 20mm round. Definitely live. The projectile is rusty because it will have a ferrous outer jacket. The case is likely to be brass, hence it hasn't corroded in the same way the projectile has, and in addition Hispano cases were lightly oiled to assist with feed and clean ejection. The main UK user of Hispano 20mm guns in aircraft was Fighter Command, and were used by later marks of Spitfire and Hurricane, as well being standard on the Typhoon, Tempest, some marks of Mosquito and at the very end of the war Meteors. Discarded rounds of various of calibres are relatively common on disused wartime airfields. When armourers cleared guns post flight, chambered rounds (depending on type, belt and mounting) would need to be removed. With thousands of belt fed rounds being the norm on a busy aerodrome, no one was worried about the odd few that got thrown away by lazy armourers. For example, many ex Bomber Command aerodrome dispersals are to this day littered with live .303" ammunition. Farmers treat them with complete disregard. Hispanos were also used (though rarely) as light anti aircraft (LAA) guns for aerodrome. Interestingly, many wartime airfield site plans show theoretical Hispano LAA gun sites, but with no evidence of them ever being built. I know you can't say where this was, but even just the county would be helpful as it would suggest which RAF Command (Bomber, Fighter, Army Cooperation, Coastal) the aerodrome was part of. On a separate subject at 5:15 the casting is made by Tubeclamps. The company still exists, having been trading since the early 1950s which ties in nicely with the ROC site.
I think you're obliged to inform the authorities in these circumstances the incendiary you found is volatile there could be more there and it could certainly ruin someone's day.
Moody DemiGod but trespass isn't a criminal offence in the UK. They are doing nothing wrong until they are asked to leave. Either in person or by a sign. The issue comes if the landowner thinks you have been removing or vandalising things... Then it becomes a potential criminal charge against you.
It is a live bomb head, the greeny colour on the tip is the impact fuse and you can see on the inside the detonation compartment and fuse hole to detonate the.main charge, which is missing at least! Many smaller WW1/2 aerial bombs were made like this, especially incendiary bombs which used the fuse detonation to split the casing to expose the incendiary compound to the air.
Hey guys nice vid there's some interesting stuff up in the highlands from ww2 couple of beaches with blocks along the beaches and shelters still intact but with the erosion and soft sands it's on the edge from slinging onto the shores..
Hope u called someone and didn't just leave that u need to call the cops and tell them u think u found a WW2 shell that hasn't been exploded and they will tell u if u was Right
I can usually guess the location of these former airfields, you kind of get used to them here in the ‘shire, and into Cambs. But this one has me totally stumped. Looking at Subbrit and Google Earth is seeming fruitless.
Definitely an 11.5 pound Practice Bomb. The head is lead filled and inert apart from the impact detonator. Looks like it's pancaked on the one you found so not sure if that went off or not; especially since the safety pins, wire and tag still seem to be in place. Besides the bomb casing held the material for flash or smoke so the head isn't dangerous if the detonator has actually gone off. I'm assuming hoping it had or Chris could've lost a hand to the 10 grains of mercury fulminate that should be in the tip.
Particularly nasty find chaps , thats a report the site job , local MOD . The first find a high incendiary device , top section filled with fuel so to speak. Be safe boys we enjoy your documentary's ;)
You can easily see the 'bullet' is not 60mm. That is not a mortar shell, it's a training marker bomb, and that is not how you spell mortar. Thanks for coming.
Nice find, I found a 50mm shell head on the beach of Lacanau in South France, the bunker shifted down from the dune and was taped off as “dangerous” by the police. I explored it and found a shell in the sand. The old 5cm KWK gun was still in place. Regelbau 667. bunkersite.com/locations/france/arcachon/667-ar14.php
Whoa shouldn't you call someone to disarm that shell because god knows what would happen if little kids find it 😟😟. A real shame those area's were flooded and also really sad that the ROC post was badly vandalised but at least no more ladder there equals no more vandals and you got the hatch shut so bonus. Thanks for sharing. x
Looks like an AA shell to me, but I'm not super knowledgable about weaponry of that era (the smaller round looks like it could be from an AA gun too, so if you've found an AA emplacement or where AA munitions were stored it'd make sense they were close together) - in those guns the shell was separate from the cartridge and they were loaded into a round as I'm sure you know, that's the right shape and size for what instinct says it is. For one thing if you think it might be unexploded ordnance you shouldn't be picking it up at all, and you certainly shouldn't be twatting it against concrete, yes they often do have HE fillings in the heads and they will last exactly that long - in fact some of those explosives tend to become more unstable as they age not less. For another, given you know where this is and I don't I'd suggest very calmly calling the police (I'd say 101 rather than 999 on the basis of not being sure) and saying "I don't want to be a pain in the arse BUT we were out and about and suspect we may have found UXB at an old military site and you may want to go check it out and make a decision about if the army need to come out and deal with it" - something along those lines..
Great vid as always, Shame a lot of the buildings you couldn't get into, got to agree with you, we should be looking after our history! On the shell's - they should be reported folks! (Had the pleasure of finding a ww2 German shell years ago lodged in a sluice gate, bomb squad removed it) 👌
Yep, WW2 training bomb. We find them on a hill near us too, exact same shape with hook etc. Let out a big smoke cloud so the bombers could see where they landed. Local farmer uses them as door stops! (the guy from the bomb squad told me that lol). They originally had a Bakerlite rear section/cap with aluminium tail fins (we find them too)
I adore you lads and bow to your dilettante knowledge of military architectural methods but I'm a bit gobsmacked by what knob-ends around possibly-live ordnance you were in this. Please. Stay safe, my good men.
Welcome to East Anglia, folk. If you thought that the chicken shit was bad, you should be here at the end of January, when muck spreading proper starts. Where I work is within sight of open country, and the air is full of the odour of blended cow and pig shit. If you live here, you don't really notice it, to be honest, but it's pretty strong this evening. Occasionally, live ordnance is dredged up, and is found by a gravel company. Just finding one live bullet, means the site is closed down and evacuated, and the police and ordnance disposal called. Banging it on a tree. Jesus, Chris. If it had gone off, the other two would have had to walk home. Looks to me very much like a 20mm Bofors Anti Aircraft shell, @ 11:40. Not unusual on an RAF airfield. Might be a shell from a 20mm Hispano Cannon, fitted to Spitfire II onward, Hurricane IIb onward, Westland Whirlwind heavy fighter, Hawker Typhoon, Tempest, and Gloster Meteor jet fighter.
The "shell" head is a 10lb practice bomb. If memory serves right they actually made some of these out of bakelite and just let off smoke upon impact. But if you didn't know what it was then its saft to presume it could be dangerous and not belt it of a tree 😂😂
Being real you should leave the area if you find a bomb I'm saying this as I'm part of the British army animation Plus the army tells government about the bunkers and etc and they are flooded by the landlord
Hi Lads. Great video. That was a practice Bomb . Info is here for you … www.defence.gov.au/UXO/_Master/docs/Types/PracticeBomb10lbRev02.pdf The Bullet looked like it may be a 20 mm HE , the head was rusted but could contain High Explosives. I used to be in the RAF as an armourer and Bomb tech, Thanks for the memories ! Cheers! Hugh
Is Chris really that stupid to start banging suspected ordnance on a tree!!! The fact you picked it up to! Not really what you should show on here as it sets a poor example to viewers. Look at it and mark it’s location is the most that you should do before reporting it. You should also turn off all phones etc and retreat to a safe distance, we’ll over 100mtrs. I would suggest editing its handling out to prevent your younger viewers from thinking this is a good idea. You wouldn’t want an accident to happen and it found out that your example was copied.
I cant beleave im watching this lol, watching Chris banging quite possable live ordnance on a tree!! its looks to me that these guys are on an old ww2 RAF Or USAAF base? I could be wrong, but air raid shelters, 20mm rounds and poss aircraft bombs? Also have they got permision to be on that land? if not then they are trespassing and that's disrespectful also not good for younger viewers from thinking this is a good idea. Just saying, Stay safe if your reading this munitions&ordnance is no Joke!!!!! we wouldnt want to see this channel stop pushing out nice vids! Or seeing Chris with no arms and blind!
It's great you care, but come on you can not keep every site perfect and around forever. I'm amazed the farmers just don't fill them with dirt and call it a day. As for the doors no one did that for fun, they were locked and the first person down after closing wanting to check them out and thus broke in...oh well. I'm surprised the hatches were also not welded shut upon closing the sites. I also don't think someone took the coat hooks off "just for fun", that would be a pain in the ass to unscrew them. Maybe it was the ones that closed that site, or one of the first people to go in after it closed and after taken them off they didn't come back for them or wife or friend was like "why do you need these" and the person was like "you are right and set them to the side". My point you have no idea but no one, I don't care who you are just unscrews coat hooks for fun or breaks a door for fun...LOL As I said, I'm glad you have passion and care, but I think you over do it. Not every site can be saved or should be saved. The funny part is you love the old graffiti but new stuff you are like WTF!. Sorry it's all graffiti and the people that did it no matter if it's 1800's or 2020 are POS in life.

Crazy finds guys - that first bullet looks like a 20mm Oerlikon gun round, maybe the 'crater' was a LAA gun pit?
"Dig it out with a stick" much safer than Mungo banging bomb on tree 😂😂😂
There's a ROC post on the mountain in Maesteg. south wales. Unfortunately about 20 years ago the council have filled the top hatch with concrete. I remember going down there when i was a nipper.

14:18 "I know nothing about bombs." These are the the type of people that you really should trust with the safety of your children...
It kinda Looks like a bloody Phallic Symbol!
You run away from a swarm of bees/wasps yet handle, bang and poke possible unexploded live ammo.... oh come on 😂 it may be rusted and corroded but if live, still dangerous!
Did you report the coordinates of the explosive to the authorities?
"its not ticking" chrises last words

Hello is that the police ive found some unexploded bombs
"where"
on land im trespassing on!
Moody DemiGod Well it’s on UA-cam for everyone to see. I wouldn’t be surprised if the police contacted the video creators for information.
Moody DemiGod but trespass isn't a criminal offence in the UK.
They are doing nothing wrong until they are asked to leave. Either in person or by a sign.
The issue comes if the landowner thinks you have been removing or vandalising things... Then it becomes a potential criminal charge against you.
Great video folks Chris needs to paint his van NATO green
Yep deffo
20.00 Chris has me in stitches 😂
The cased round looked more dangerous than the bomb with the handle.
19:58 Extra pressure to crawl out. 🤣
0:11 nearly shat myself!

YOU SOUNDED LIKE A CARRY ON CHARACTER' ITS SOO ANNOYING BUT I LOVE YOU '. LOL
The first bullet u found is a 20mm round fired by flak guns and planes and the bomb I think is the fuse to the bomb which is I still dangerous
Raf practice bomb 😉 still dangerous and the 20mm like you say is haspina i believe
@@StevEDC_UK yeah I believe so to
Lol Chris bangs the bomb is to get the mud out
Thank you. Just wondering, was the bomb retrieved.
Best video of 2020 so far👍🏻
Hey guys nice vid there's some interesting stuff up in the highlands from ww2 couple of beaches with blocks along the beaches and shelters still intact but with the erosion and soft sands it's on the edge from slinging onto the shores..
Very amazing video well done and keep up the great work and I love listening to your VIDEO'S as I am FULLY BLIND
Leave the undetonated bomb, take the cannolis.
Possibly a parachute mine/incendiary ordnance?
If you’d spent anymore time around those bee bushes... a spriggan would’ve appeared 😂🤣 fus roh dah!
you need to report it , to the bomb squad , its the same as when we find stuff metal detecting
Absolutely fascinating as always guys. The circular pill box/observation post was a gem. Anyone know what aircraft flew from here?
Good videos guys. The thing you thought was a det is a cap that used to be used for lifting the shell.
12:51 Jesus folks it’s the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch, tis ultimately used to kill the foe and allow the quest to proceed.
where we're going we dont need roads
How do you guys find these places been trying to find a bunker near me but all info has been took down tried Google maps not sure what looking for ?
He was having a laugh; knowing what it really was !!
Last seen scrapping ww2 bomb and hitting it ....lol
😂😂😂😂
Hope u called someone and didn't just leave that u need to call the cops and tell them u think u found a WW2 shell that hasn't been exploded and they will tell u if u was Right
thankyou my folk❤️

Bang 💥💥💥😁 folks thought we were going to see Chris spattered all over that wood then.Did you reported it to the Army bomb squad?
I really don't think that's a shell tip especially with that U shaped clasp on it. Is the first shell from an AA Gun perhaps?
They also used screwed in rings to allow them to be held in Bombay's and under wings on solenoid activated releases.
Particularly nasty find chaps , thats a report the site job , local MOD .
The first find a high incendiary device , top section filled with fuel so to speak.
Be safe boys we enjoy your documentary's ;)
Bomb looks like the connection point to an old telegraph pole, the hoop holds the wire to the post.
16:51------- German buzz bombs folks
The bullets are 60mm anti aircraft..the bomb is a motor shell
You can easily see the 'bullet' is not 60mm. That is not a mortar shell, it's a training marker bomb, and that is not how you spell mortar. Thanks for coming.
Need to add IKS wellys to your merch list guys!

You need to be more careful with any ordinance found lads. Great video 🇬🇧🇬🇧🛸🛸😫💣💣
Steel-toed wellingtons for your explorations
Why pick something you expect to be a UXB up? It makes no sense.
Actually looking at it Im not sure it's a shell with those bits attached to it. It wouldn't slide into a gun barrell.
Wow place u used latter was nice and dry
Your practice bomb could be 8 1/2lb or 10lb or 11 1/2 lb practice bomb the tail section held the titanium tetrachloride spotting charge
Hey folks! 😊
I surprised someone hasn't made a tourist business of exploring roc post and bunker after they have bought and restored them
Steve likes his Doritos doesn't he 😂
Yes i do lol im trying to get that orange tinge like Ian 😂
I'm thinking it's a missile tip guys that hook looks like it's where it hooks to the plain but I might be wrong buts my thought

'Don't bang it' tehheee :)
It's a cap to protect a detonator head,
20mm cannon round.

(Had the pleasure of finding a ww2 German shell years ago lodged in a sluice gate, bomb squad removed it) 👌
looks like the tip off a mortar bomb
The first piece of ordnance you found looked very much like a 20mm round , the armour piercing tip is VERY dangerous .
Yep, WW2 training bomb. We find them on a hill near us too, exact same shape with hook etc. Let out a big smoke cloud so the bombers could see where they landed. Local farmer uses them as door stops!
