Underwater with the fishes
Went to bullet beach today to play. If anybody reads the Beach and Diving section you know I get tons of 30 cal and some 50 cal bullets out of there. I also got my 100 lb Mark 1 practice bomb last year from that place.

Well today with my CZ, I got another bell tone. Now I love those signals and I dug this one. Well I had NO idea what it was cause it was full of sand and I couldn't make heads or tails out of it. The other side had a leather hand strap that unfortunately my dive partner broke off.

Well I got it home and started cleaning it out. I noticed 6 brass tubes in it and I still thought STRANGE. Then I noticed the tubes were 30 cal bullets!!

This is a drum magazine for a 30 cal machine gun!! It has patent Mar, 21 1903 - Oct. 22 1912 and 30.U.S embossed in it. Looks like it held over 75 rounds anbd there are 6 left. Channel locks are for size. Enjoy!!!





 
Great find! And nice job on the research too. Really cool man! Gotta love that bell tone.
