Nice find! From what I have read these can be very volatile though !

Nice finds - the two in the first picture may be smoke / illuminating but it's difficult to tell from the pictures. Smoke rounds contain an explosive charge inside them to set the smoke filling alight too. You'd need to check if the round has definitely been spent already but be careful!
Did you find anything else?
A lot of iron MG cases, barbed wire from that period, but nothing interesting unfortanetely. When I have new nice finds, I will post them!
I also found a 2 cm flak grenade, but I dont have a picture of that one
Nice finds - I look forward to seeing what else you find!
Just noticed the German dog tag in the first lot of photos, does it have any writing stamped on it?
Very thick and very rusty. I think it was laying on the bottem of a MG pit, because it was surrounded by iron MG cases. The text on the EK says : 043/ UEB 236 2392 O I have tried to trace the soldier but that is very hard unfortanetely, no succes till today.
These are 2 ( empty ) Brittish 25 pr smoke shells. I found and cleaned the shells by myself and I bought the cases. Detonaters in amazing condition.. Last picture is a 25 pr HE, not in my posession ofcourse!
Thanks, good to know it more like WWI barbed wire rather than the modern thin stuff.
