Here is something that's fished out of the Nordsea before the coast of England.
It''s a 4 inch British projectile it looks just like the High Explosive one but inside this one is a piece of wood. It's probally a practice one but I can't find any documentation about it. Maybe one of you have. I will put some photo's on monday on the forum.

I take it the cut in the second picture was to get the driving band off?
