Schrapnel?

What does shrapnel from a howitzer look like? I have been finding chunks of a metallic material, about 3/8 of an inch, by 3/8, by up to six inches long, below the east face of Liberty Bell. It is clearly not a mineral, and some portions may retain some machining.

 

It seems too thick for the shell of a howitzer used for avalanche control, and I'm not aware of any artillery control up there. I'm wondering if it could be the remains of a big aerial iron bomb dumped by an aircraft during an emergency during WWII
