[QUOTE="daveydempsey, post: 222526, member: 22"]Those Warthogs were up and down this east coast in the mid 70`s to the mid 80`s, everyday in the summer months, practise shooting at a range about 20 miles from me, they also fired off at Donna Nook (RAF) in Lincolnshire which is the next county along from Norfolk where Govinn is located. If it is a cannon shell it could have come from there. It looks to have been messed with a bit, maybe painted and a bit sawn off. The brass or copper ring sleeve does suggest it may have come from a rifled barrel.[/QUOTE]
