Heehee we younglings with city-backgrounds that watched too many hollywood movies but also have gotton a lot of history lessons at school about ww2 indeed lacked some knowledge. We were sure it was a missile. A bomb. A granate ment to be able to get through the exterior of a tank. And we three when finding it were running around like chickens without a head, pretty sure óne of us actually peed it's pants..all saying final prayers because this thing wil SURELY go off and our end is near...
We stopped when my mom mentioned it was ment to stabalize a pole in the ground where you can hang clothes to dry. Since you know, God didn't create electric tumble-dryers on day one.
We already found 20+ of these while digging, recognized these since my mom in the 80's used them, but this is an older model from before ww2. And I think I can guess why they changed the look of this thing afterwardsSince morrons like us have allways excisted..and we were probably not the first ones to mistake it for a missile of some sort.
I award you a half point since a sand point indeed looks like it; but it's not a sand point. And I found your reaction really funny and helpfull. Whén finding a sand point while digging I won't make the same bomb-mistake now..heehee.
