Hi guys,

Yesterday I wen't out again to the airfield with my metaldetector.
I searched on one of the ladingstrips south of Hulten.
Well I have to say the airfield was bombed for over 4 years so I have found many scrapnell and pieces of airplane bombs, but what I found yesterday was abnormal, a piece of scrapnell as big as my torso! I almost couldn't lift the damn thing. Thats not the worst... It lay about 75 cm's deep in the hard ground!...
It almost has no rust on it, pretty good condition, could see some paint on it still.
A friend of my took it with him, for in his garden.
