Just wondering, though: what liquid would have been in those shells then? Water (rain) mixed with the explosives, perhaps?

Phospherous or a liquid propellant can give false positives. The field tests are designed to be "safer" for those in the field by favoring a positive reading. Better to handle these things in the safest way in case it turns out to be true.
