Don't pick it up even if it looks harmless!!
Last year I found this piece of unexploded ordinance - 15cm long. Then was left with the dilemma of What to do? Do I leave it where the farmer's plough can run over it again (and report it to someone) or take it home and deal with it from there. I decided on the latter course.
6 months later I found out that the best contact is the police who contact the Army.
The Army collected it yesterday and said it was probably from a Matilda tank and may or may not have still have explosives inside. Evidently approx 3 of similar objects are reported each week.
If you find one. Take note of its location, mark it with ribbon/etc and contact the Police so someone can collect it from there.
