A recently dug up 305mm mortar shell from WWI, near the Assembly building in Belgrade

1. Most likely a 285kg shell, as the 305mm ones came in 280-380kg range.

   Pictured:

   1) Serbian police measuring the shell prior to demining

   2) A Škoda 305mm siege mortar at the Belgrade fortress which would have fired the round

   3) Highlighted is the Assembly building (under construction) in 1914.

2. Good thing he is wearing a helmet.
