Surely it’s too early in the season to go digging up Jacob’s chucks.

Good point, I think Rohms are in season though.

Would it be classified as bad taste if I went back with a metal detector to see if the rest of the drill is there?

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

I went back. Not with a metal detector. But another stick. Well an 8mm rod.

Nowt.
Nada.
Diddly.
Less than zero.

Just the hole I left.

Oh well.

Chris ,
Now you have admitted having it , I'm guessing you don't have the required fire arms certificate licence to hold that calibre ammo , don't fling it away as some Richard Cranium/s may find it and get hurt, hand it into any police station & let them sort it out .

or prise the head out, tip the powder out and burn it off, and hold in in the vice so you can tap the primer off, then reassemble your nice, legal inert round

 

[Tinbasherdan]

That's what I'd do if it were mine but I wouldn't be happy advising someone to do the same.

4.5 Mk5 was easy to open up, beach Banyan BVI.

Pussers run, from the source and fun was had.

Best check the wording of the law, from memory its ammunition makes no mention of live or not so depending on copper / magistrate it could be an offence

 

[Glen Vassallo]

Hey Tinbasherdan. Now thats a cool project. Good on you and your Dad. Good luck with it!
