Nice finds congratulation also from my side
I would be carefull with the ammo ... maybe your house get burned
down Light blue bullet tip means incediary when i remember correctly
DEFINITELY, without a doubt, Merlin exhaust stubs!
Great finds Relichunter! - And yes, PLEASE be careful with that ammo.
Thanks for the information guys and the safety advice !
The 50 cal bullets are, as you rightly point out, colour coded. I am extremely careful with these items and they are treated with the greatest care and kept in a nice cold environment. Namely, in my cupboard in the garden shed ! Any damaged bullets are left in the ground where i find them
I am indeed an avid relic hunter.....but I ain't stupid

Relichunter...the number 109 on the part identifies it as a P-51D Mustang. I am 550km from home and my parts lists are there. If you send me the whole number I can tell you were the part sat on the Mustang. Danny
Really ? OH COOL !
The numbers are 109-66047 which is repeated at right angles further round the part but with a '2' included (109-66047-2). just off the middle of the part is a stamp that reads ASSAM and then in the centre of the piece is a stamp within a circle ANA 598.
Many thanks for this Danny......you have made me really happy ! In one visit i got an identifiable piece of a lightning, a Merlin engine AND a P-51D !!!
