thanks for the reference Gunny, I think its the same era as the previous shell which turned out to be shrapnel (lead balls) flechete isnt a to big of a step and I think the pot of gold theory is just wishful thinking.
if i understand correct, the calibration ring would set a time/distance/altitute that needed to be met before the fuze became armed? hence this could have been fired and not exploded if it fell short?
