Looks like Russian 120mm mortar rounds.
May be postwar. |

Fresh from the ground, is it from a ww1 shell? Can it be dangerous?

It's only the timer.
No danger. |

It's the time fuse from a 75mm caliber shrapnell shell used by the romanian army. Absolutely inert.

Thank you Andi, can you tell if is ww1 period? I was wondering what battles were in the area, as i understand the range of such mortar projectile is around 5-600 meters, that is strange, i found it almost in the center of the city, and there are no stories of fighting in the area of Bolintin. Maybe in the Arges-Neajlov battles.

It was surely used in ww1 by the romanian artillery. The range of the lead balls was around 500 meters, bursting in the air at the time set, but the range of the projectile itself upon that point is measured in kilometers, 5 to 7km I reckon.
The german advance towards Titu, after the Neajlov battle included Bolintin area. Anyway get used to find interesting objects in unusual places. Btw, it will clean up quite nice.  |

It is a canon or mortar projectile?

Probably onboard signal device plate from a Fleet F 10G biplane or other plane built at ICAR Bucuresti factory. This post has been edited by Cantacuzino on June 12, 2013 10:16 am |
