Can anyone ID this?

Those 50s are huge, if it did fall from the air I wonder how much energy it had on impact, i wouldnt want to be hit by one. Haha even the 50BMG's brass deals some hefty damage.

Pat, I used to Cowboy on a big ranch South of town, and found 17 .50 cal. rounds banded together. The pasture was called 'Hard Pan', on the Etchart Ranch, North of the Stone House.

I know Duke well. I worked with him on a couple places.
Sometime I will have to tell you about scattering the brand new Chuck-wagon, across the prairie, in the Craig Cooley pasture.
