Hello all:
Here at the Kansas Historical Society we are trying to establish 
guidelines for collecting and storing live ammunition that comes to 
light during excavations.  Do we record it, but leave it in the field?  
Send it into lab, and then send it off to be made safe? Send it into the 
lab where it is kept in perpetuity?  We find everything from last fall's 
12 gauge to Civil War munitions or slightly earlier in Kansas.  Do any 
of your institutions/businesses have a standardized policy on the 
handling of "live" ammunition, and if so would you be willing to share 
that information?
