These appear to be French 270 MM he shells. As they are on the beach they areprobibly being emplace as fiels expedient electrically detonated mines, a common use fro such obsolete ammunition. If you enlarge the pic you can just make out 270 on one of the shells.

Re: Id. heavy artillery ammunition
Let me try this again with smaller fingers. These appear to be French 270 MM, probibily Obus de Acer M 1893-1901, HE shells. As they are located on the beach they are probibly being emplaced as field expedient electrically detonated mines., a common use for such obsolete ammunition.

As they are on the beach they also could be about to be fitted to NUSKNAKERMINEN for anti boat use.

Hi all,
Can anyone identify these russian heavy artillery shells? I guess that they are 305mm shells for M1907 naval/coastal guns
