Those look like great finds you have there. Keep it up. There is bound to be more where those came from. Welcome aboard. Great to have you here. I think you may the the first from Italy, just my guess.

Many thanks. You can suggest me a USA site of metal detectors specialized in military objects? Thanks.

I think the top left item is the tail assembly for a 2.75" shoulder fired anti-tank recoilless launcher ("bazooka"). Agree on the unit just below and right of that is a mortor tail assembly.

Interesting stuff.

Lower right hand spring looking thing is a spoon from a handgrenade I think? Monty

Great finds! BE CAREFUL! If you are finding parts of Bazookas and grenades there may live explosives in the ground. You would not want to yank out a live grenade and have the detonator pop off by mistake due to corrosion.
