After reading all the posts on detector finds we were spured on to look for some relics. The pictures below are just a few of our finds.
shell cases found were .22 9mm, .30 carbine .30 standard. .45, .303. one .303 case had the elongated striker mark made by the brengun. one .30 standard had red paint around the tip, also found was a mortar bomb fin and the item we would really like identified is the long article, thanks, John.

Unfortunately it looks like a grenade for a Panzerschrek ! Take it outside the house, and call someone.....

For safetys sake definately get a professional to deal with it but i was wondering if it was a 30m panzerfaust rather than a panzershreck round...just the shape of the cone and where the thin nose cone would have been is gone with just the fuse tip remaining..

Odd things do end up in odd places, but to me it looks like a 30mm Panzerfaust round to me too. It might have been brought back for testing or for training soldiers how to use the enemys weapons?
Thanks

Hey good spotting spotter,still had german in my head but think you might be onto something there....should've realised before the fuse doesnt sit at the tip but at the base of the charge remote detonated from the tip...so the solid shaft that weights the nosecone of the practice rocket you showed makes perfect sense on the relic,bout right scale as well...nice one
