Guam World War II Artifacts

I had an opportunity (the first of many upcoming) to head to Guam for business. I was there for several weeks. There are some fossil shells to be had in the Eocene limestone that comprises half the island, but they were non-descript, and I didn't find any of the rare Eocene crabs at the one locale I tracked down. HOWEVER, as Guam was the site of a vicious World War II battle between the Americans & the Japanese, I did some beach combing and found a lot of nifty WWII artifacts! I found: > 11 whole or partial .50 caliber machine gun shells (one with bullet!), > 20 M1 (?) rifle shells (one with bullet!), > 2 other bullets, gauge unsure, > an Indian head nickel, circal 194something (too eroded to read), > 1940s Pepsi bottle > 1940s Nehi soda bottle > a copper Japanese 75mm brass shell (large) > misc. copper shrapnel from a destroyed pillbox > several brass buckles and one pull tab > 12 brass buttons (one w/USMC!), and the big stuff: > US 155mm artillery shell (the big boy!) > rusted fragment from a US 5" naval projectile (battleship, cruiser or destroyer) > rusted 1,000 lb bomb fragment > 500lb bomb storage plug (used in place of a fuse during shipment of the bomb) and the separate photo is a LIVE Japanese Type 88 80mm artillery fuse
