Very interesting, Dave.
I have on my desk a 50 caliber bullet that as a child of 10, I dug out of a bunker in Germany.
We called them "bullet mines". You just got a spoon and dug a little ways down in the berm
of some fortification and you found them. I wonder now if the parents who those spoons 
belonged to, never noticed their dinnerware count was off. Of course, a bullet is not much of
a collectible trophy, and there must be billions of them peppering the soil. What puzzles me 
still is some we found, which looked like longer and narrower bullets than the 50 cal. I recall
there were lots of fragments of fragmentation grenades lying about also. I recall one kid had
a rusty German helmet and he was the envy of all the rest of us. My brother tells me that 
valley has been completely redone, all those ruined fortifications are gone, and it looks 
unrecognizable. The "lure of loot". Is that how my collecting - nature began ?
