The spent cases of bullets fired a lifetime ago, left to age in the dust.
Not from a war in reality, but from farm life. Some of these I found, belonging to the gun of a property owner in the distant past, and others I created.
I tried to take some of those (spent of course!) home from Vietnam. Australian Customs were not happy! I was told they considered all shells even spent ones to be live. Sounds like magic to me!
That’s a shame customs wouldn’t let you bring them in! I can’t think of a real reason why they should be so grumpy on that when they would’ve been empty and old, LOL!
LOL agreed! …I was actually thinking of ‘Lord of War’ -nicolas cage… relatively new(2-3yrs), all about arms smuggling. (a more direct/interesting film compared to blood diamond + really really cool scenes)
best quote: “There are over 550 million firearms in worldwide circulation. That’s one firearm for every twelve people on the planet. The only question is: How do we arm the other 11?” … Yuri Orlov: They say, “Evil prevails when good men fail to act.” What they ought to say is, “Evil prevails.”

this looks cool. I like it very much. What do you mean,“others I created?”
Thanks filfil :)
I just meant some of the shells were more recently fired, while some of them could have been on the ground for 50 years.

Thanks Bex, yeah I thought so. I’ve got some old .303 shells, and they definately do!

Crazy, this reminds me of the movie ‘blood diamond’ …the madness that greed inspires…
Cheers Steven! That was a mad movie. Very glad these bullets weren’t used in that sort way!
