My buddy found a brass casing at a state park. It's apparently a .50 cal round, and the head stamps are "M" on the top and "43" on the bottom. Found it about 25 miles from a Naval Air Station.
No other discernible marking.
I'll get a picture in a few minutes.

How about a side shot. Is hard to tell from that one if it is a x54R, Or do you know that already?

Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.

I'll get a couple more pictures tomorrow. No idea if there are more or if it has been laying there in isolation for a long time.
Being a state park one would think it's picked over pretty well.
