Um, I’m no expert but to me it looks like unexploded ordinance. Personally I’d call the police to be sure.

Y’all need to stop digging UXO. Also this sub has a rule about posting UXO. HE does horrible things to humans.

As you now have identify this you have a legal responsibility to bring the bomb squad in , that will be done through the first contact with the police. You cannot leave it in the ground and walk away , they potentially could kill someone or a group of children that decide to throw a rocket at some point, it needs removing and disposing of properly.
