Excellent Mate, they've cleaned up a treat. I love the 68 with paint that's a first for this site.
Nice artistic work, reliving the past through spent 30cals scattered across the lawn.
Good Stuff.

Re: Pre D Day battleground Training Area.
I think your stripper clips are the NATO 7.62mm clips, they are very similar to 30-06 clips but as 7.62mm cases have been found and Springfield ammo clips pretty much all went to the pacific, I reckon the chances are, they're 7.62.
The cones shown look like shape charge cones found in the armour defeating rockets such as bazookas etc.

Re: Pre D Day battleground Training Area.
Thanks m3bobby, Id agree on the stripper clips if they'd been found at the surface where the 7.62 are found but these ones were all found together mixed with Garande clips in a hole 4 to 6 inches down. Bearing this in mind I'm more inclined to think they are WW2 rather than post war dated.
Cheers
