I've got a 4" 50 caliber shell casing from a deck gun; I brought it up from a dive on a WWII shipwreck.   I left the warhead on the bottom, but still have some of the powder.   Even after 60 plus years submerged in salt water, it still burns really well.

As best I can tell, the big one is a US 75mm High Explosive round from world war 2. Yes, it is DEMILLED (no explosive/no propellant)! The round included for comparison is a 7.62x54 Russian rifle round.

Holy crap! That thing is HUGE!  Does it have a room of it's own?
