I know this isn't exactly a normal question on this site, but I ran into a strange item and can't find any information to further my curiosity. I hope someone has info to get me in the right direction.
I found a 24" long 60lb+ item on my job site. It is stamped M3 Warhead YCC-1-11 April 1957. I obviously turned it over to the local authorities and it is being guarded until the proper military groups can be mobilized to travel and retrieve it. The disposal unit sent the usual uniformed officer to verify and as they got more info they got uptight... many rumors spread by the officers as to "what ifs" etc. I would just like to know what I found, what it is used for, and how absolutely dumb or lucky I am to have moved it and not had any problems. Thanks guys
