Looks very much like a tank training round. But as people have pointed out, leave them alone, you never know.

It's hard to tell exactly without any kind of scale, but it looks like a 155mm artillery round.

That is a 105mm HE M1 Howitzer round..... Very Dangerous

Very carefully try to unscrew the the top of the round, thats where the fuse is. If you can get it off and then get the HE out you have a nice trophy if not its very dangerous if its still live. Most of those would be timed rounds so it could possibly go off at any moment. If it was impact detonated then don't drop it on its nose.

Please dont be stupid enough to dissect the thing. Just use some common sense and dont risk blowing yourself to bits.
