Arrow Link : WWII 'Dug-ups'

I'm sure we've mentioned it on the Forum before, but I thought ( after my own recent relic-hunt at Falaise ) that I'd re-post a link to the web's finest relic site : -

Page Title


I always enjoy browsing this site.

I know that 'dug-ups' can be controversial and many have mixed views - I have to admit that finding a few exploded 7.92 cases in a field and a piece of German boot-sole in a riverbed recently gave me a real thrill....

Uusual disclaimer - if you must go rummaging around on battlefields, use your common sense and don't touch anything that looks as though it may explode....

Thumbs up Re: Link : WWII 'Dug-ups'

Nothing wrong with mentioning Lerenfort loads of times!
I still reckon it's one of the Internet's most interesting military related sites.

Cheers,
Adam.

An excellent website Martin, thank you for sharing.

Hi Darrin,

I doubt anybody will tell you their secret places. It's like a gold digger telling others where to find his potential gold. The best would be to come over and try your luck. Remember that you mostly need permission from the owner/authorities. If you go to former battlefieds you might soon find your own "big hole" . Wishing you luck with your quest.
