To any of the EOD members who do this work;

Do you ever find the base parts of these projectiles
on the ranges, they would have been fired during WW1 and into
the 20s and 30s. U.S. Subcaliber 1.7 pdr.Black powder fill.
The base of the MKl would likely be blown off more or less intact.
The centrifical fuze is under the brass plate.
The MKll has a screw in brass base and the fuze is crimped in,
this might not survive so well.

Looking for parts.
