Hola Tagasilay: Extremely good find, I hope that you defused it? The shape is curous, I don't rmember one just like it? Is it japanese
Be very carfeful of those bombs since the nose and tail fuses are hermatically sealed and under the right conditions can ruin your discovery 900 , and, incidentally you also.
the discovery 900 is prob the best twin box in the market, it beats the present White 880 series, the 800 series are very close to it.

Hi, its american, i recovered it at a mountain where the japs made their last stand in our island during the end days of the war, by then the jap air force was not operational so they could not have dropped it. You are right about the tail and cone fuses, i left it with the locals who turned it over to the ordnance team that detonated it. 20 meters away, the 2box also recovered a unexploded napalm canister/bomb about 3ft in length, i suspected it was a napalm canister because of the tubing from nose to tail. I regularly recover munitions over the mountains and have developed a protocol on how to dig, never use a pic or shovel until you are sure its not a bomb or grenade, i gently scrape off the dirt inch by inch when im in the old war zone. the two box is the best when hunting in the jungle and open space, reasonable size, good range, works in dry and saturated ground, could be ground balanced, hope someday it will snag me a golden BOMBshell, a jar of old coins will also make me extreemly happy.
God bless
