I was out today in a daily dig site when I came across this moster in the ground, I couldnt beleive my eyes... This is a US Army Air Force wing mounted practice rocket for the P-51 Mustang aircraft.. very cool and one of my best WWII finds...:metaldetector::metaldetector:

That is AWESOME! A real part of history.
 

Congratulation!
 

That's a different kind of find that you don't find every day, Congrats and good hunting!!!!
 

yea def not an everyday find, but its pretty neat to find stuff like this!
 

Wow! What a find.
 

That is definitley not something I would expect to ever find underneath my coil! ...Nice Find! :icon_thumleft:
 

I was shocked myself to find this rocket, although I have known they have been in the area for years.... My detector went crazy when I swung over the area, but I really didnt expect to find a beautiful practice rocket.. Tomorrow i will find the plane that fired it..lol
 

Exellent find.:icon_thumleft:
