  1. If ammunition gets noticeably wet or is exposed to enough humidity that moisture enters the primer, then it can be deactivated. It takes a good amount of moisture and humidity to do so, and it usually happens in the case of repeat exposure — but it is certainly possible.

    If this does happen, the primer will be deactivated as well as the propellant charge, which makes the ammunition completely useless. A tell-tale sign of any propellant charge or primer deactivation is to find rust or discoloration on the primer or the rim of the ammunition case. When you see discoloration or rust, you can be confident that the ammunition has lost its function and is unusable. That ammo in your photo is really corroded, most likely it's deactivated from water exposure, but to be on the safe side pick up  a surplus metal  ammo box,  for storage when you transport.

  2. The label beta testers is used too lightly, in regards to true beta testers who received some sort of consideration for doing the service such as free use of software and things of that nature, pertaining to metal detector manufacturers,   the small companies with low budget , seem to be rushing out their products at the consumer's expense, which I feel isn't right, big  corporations minelab, and  XP seem to spend time and research for r&d to get the bugs out before they release their products to the public , I don't want to be a beta tester and spend my hard-earned money, on a product that's not ready for release, that's not fair to the consumers,
