Amersfoort (Holland) dugups.

I had no idea you had to dig that deep . Did your dectortor get a signal at such a distance. It's an excellent find to say the least.

 

impressive find!

really amazong how long even the leather of the mun pouches resits rotting!

 

Hehehe.

Skipper, we didn't used a detector, only good luck...

Thank you all again.

 

I think this colleague did!
150 helmets!
Here is my part (46 in total) , enjoy















Last, peek inside

 

Hi Dutchy. Some wonderful helmets there! I like the 1944 model Luftwaffe with the intact leather a lot. Some pretty scarce FallschimJäger too. 46! Man you are lucky. I wish I had just one or two!

 

Hi Tinus!

 

Hi mate!


Thank you skipper!, the helmet on the left, beneath on the photo of 4 FJ is not a ground dug b.t.w.

272VGD and I are one of the lucky few to have had this chance! It was an exiting, tencious, jealous and competitive experience!


272GVD has a nice dutch relic site www.bodem-vondsten.nl, checked already?

 

Yes He told me about it and sometimes puts links on the forum. It's a great site, it makes me envious, but that's the game . I'm into aircraft parts. I found a great Lancaster spar last week

 

It's a game yes! But sometimes it can end up in a small forum fight, what happened to me and 272VGD. It been a while ago and I have certain regrets for it though...ah..we were young

But anyway, 17 bombers/fighters crashed in my 12km wide neighbourhood, 1 only 100 meters of my home. I havent had even 1 look at the crashes but soon I will, Ill keep you up to date of my finds!

cheers

 

I kicked your ass!

 

Well they are both nice collections that's for sure!

 

Here some more pictures from my part.

very nice! what is the last item?

 

Well, this must have been a very lucky day for you! Really amazing findings!!!
I believe you came with a truck to that place, didn´t you?

 

You keep amazing me with all these finds. Besides the truck you must live in a huge warehouse to keep all these .

 

Last item is a German liner for in a helmet... do you know what I mean? Don't know the exact word for it in English.
Our car was pretty full yes!

 

Yes, I understand! You may have to buy a truck for future expeditions!! hehehe!!
