So here is one finished 1917 bomb I found. I think it came out great. New fins, new paint and a brass button for a nose. One of my most prized finds. This one is going to my 14yr old grandson. Next one goes to my 13yr old grandson.

As found:

End result:

No Craig, I had it done by a professional. ALL he wanted in trade is one that I found. I gave him one that needed more work. BUT he was happy. I am ecstatic!!

That bomb is THE BOMB!

Very cool!

How cool is that???

I remember an episode of Antiques Roadshow where a guy found a huge brass canon. He called to get some information on it and since there was a serial number the government confiscated. What a bummer since it was worth $500,000 :shock:

Tom, All you need to do is come visit and snorkel around the area. Find one and take it back on the plane. I would put it in carry on luggage also. You know how rough baggage handlers are.

What?! You trying to get another funny youtube video you can put in your sig line?
(That would be pretty funny, though.)

You must be about done diving for the season.
