The biggest shell casing I`ve ever seen

[Robbie]

Hi all, sorry I haven`t been posting much lately, but I finally got out this past weekend just digging clad and found these three interesting pieces. This is the biggest shell casing I`ve ever seen along with another eagle button and the Budda badge I`m not sure about. Still pretty cool. Thanks for looking.

Good to see a post from you, Robbie. That is a huge shell casing! I bet it would make a loud boom! :yes:

Congrats on the finds! :clapping:

Nice finds Robbie! What's the stamp on the end of the shell casing? Should tell the caliber, maker, and maybe the year made.

It says 20-MM MK.II 1942 FJN

Very cool! Very possible it was used in the 20mm Lahti, a WWll anti tank gun.

"another eagle button" ??? That button would make my week!!! My life isn't that exciting :lol: Shank and all! :thumbsup02:

In case you were wondering, your eagle button is called a "Great Seal". City Button Works, New York made buttons from 1877-1923 but yours most likely dates between 1910 and 1917. If there are any traces of black on it the time period would be 1910-1923.

Thanks Drew, ya, this is my forth one in 7 yrs searching, the biggest one too. I`m in a good spot I guess?
