What kind of trouble does one have to go to, to get a spent 30MM casing from an A-10?

coming to think about these shells i went to a tank museum in england a few months back and on the counter for sale was a very large shell casing but they weren't sure what fired it they said 'it was not a tank' the thing was the size of a milk bottle and very heavy they were selling it for something like £30 didn't have enough at the time so didn't get it kinda regretting it now. :brick :brick :brick
