Mats, I think Martin collected all those up years ago and hid them in his secret barn somewhere deep in the Normandy countryside...

This is more the sort of thing to be found today in NW Europe - a heat-exploded 88mm shell base...
An MG-42 fired 7.92mm casing.....
And a very large shell fragment.....
All without a metal detector. Good hunting !  |
Martin, all those items look awfully familiar, especially the 88mm base...
I have to agree with you Martin, these items are all your likely to find, if it's not made of brass or heavy gauge steel, then it's probably not survived the 60+ years in the ground.
