most rounds i have found I passed on to a friend of my brother the blanks unable to make out base .never keep bases . of fired or any "live" rounds i find
will look in boxes see if still have odd round headed . lots of copper jacketed rounds on north side . I havent done the amble beaches for years . to do the dunes and grassed areas is disturbing flaura and fauna, not sure if links are no SSIs
