This thing has me baffled. It's VERY heavy and the tip looks like lead. It appears to have some real age to it as well. Any ideas? ImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1430441200.877587.webpImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1430441221.728331.webp

It looks like that right? I found it on a mountain that I don't know of having any tanks anywhere near though. Anyone else?

Does it look like it was hollow (aside from the tip) before it was flattened?

They look like different sized projectiles, with a lead rifling band and lead tip. But I don't know for what kind of a gun. Never seen or heard of anything like it, and wouldn't know how to start researching to find out. Is there any evidence of rifling marks on the lead bands?

It wouldn't be a shell with the lead collar around it. It looks like plumbing that was modified for some reason.
