[StartQuote] For what it worth- in 2009, while looking through the debris field located right off Lumbari Island, other divers with me located several live.45 rounds in among the odd assortment of items- like very nice bits of wood, monel and SS screws in other wood, electrical wire, panel face plates minus gauges, and galley utensil items. I think several .50 cal rounds were located too. Ammunition used to be all over the Solomon aircraft wrecks and former base's when I first visited in 1980/1981, on a sail boat, however now many of those same places are "picked" very clean. The ammo I was told is sought after by groups in Bougainville, and recently for the issues in the Solomon Islands mainly on Guadalcanal. Most .50 cal rounds have the date of production stamped on the base. In deeper water we found the dorade box/vent, the large ones one can see on the deck of PT boats. I'd imagine there is a ton of other stuff to find- just need a good U/W metal detector, as the sand is always shifting. [EndQuote]
