Should I Buy These?

Do you have any reason to believe they are, or are not, inert?
The one one the left has a nose fuse; the others don't seem to. They could be target practice inert. Or not

When new(er) they were color coded to help in identification (meaning live or inert) and country of origin. When they are all shined up, or if the markings have been obliterated, you must consider them live. Contact the closest RCMP or military base to attempt possible ID and disposal.
 
When we worked as bear guards for EOD they considered every one was live.

I would be a little concerned.......:eek:

I've worked with EOD and those get my buttcheeks puckering just looking at them

the one with the nose fuse is very concerning because that fuse should have set off something inside

they all look like they might have base fuses
 
I used to haul scrap from the local small town municipal sites. Pulled up load the metal bin at Elkwater and there is an artillery projectile laying inside the bin.
I grew on the South Fence of CFB Suffield, so such things are like snakes to country folk whom live on the river. Dont freak out, it hasn't blown up yet...itll likely be fine. Wasn't transported in a bed a cotton...likely not treated with caution
Made a phone to Suffield...their EOD techs ( right term?) were all busy in war games at CFB Wainwright...they would be down next week.
This is municipal site...they didn't seem to care much.
Lost a lot of respect right there for the CF EOD's there.
OP, probably good, if not though...you'll be a blurb on the worldwide wire service.
The Oilpatch course they taught at SIRC said even spray painting the projectile is not suggested.
Best left IMO
