This one is easy.
It looks like a mockup of the core of an old style fusion bomb i.e. the reflector with a hole at the top where the fusion(plutonium) material would go.
It can't be the real thing as he is handling it with bare hands
Demon core
the photo is a re-creation of the 1946 incident

From my personal collection. Yes this is too easy, but that's alright.
By the way if you can guess what the brown chunk is on the lower piece you get a gold star :D .
Are those flattened lead bullets from the civil war?
They look like fossils, some kind of sandstone.... I probably will look stupid if the answer is easy but oh well....
Nope not flattened rounds, although I do have a couple of those too. This is modern era.
Looks like pieces of shrapnel? I'm not a shrapnel expert though. Maybe from a grenade or something like that
Right on! Pieces of shrapenal I dug out of my truck after we got hit, there were some larger pieces but I gave those to the gunner and my TC. Largest piece was about 1in to an inch and a quarter long, he dug that out of the the hell fights on his .50. EOD said it was a 155mm round, left overs from the initial invasion. The little brown piece on the bottom piece is a chunk of my fuel can, the shrapenel melted to the plastic.
Yep, glad you're ok Brenden. Thanks for sharing your personal collection with us.
Coming soon....
Eris visits a military surplus graveyard and posts pictures in this thread :D

Howitzer, fuel tank for a plane thunderchief maybe, water bladder heater? Oh and 5 ton with expandable trailer/office on it.
Here is a fairly easy one to guess
