    Sacre bleu! ;)
    But seriously, welcome, and don't worry, your English is better than most of us Yanks could do in a language other than our own.

    Dimitri,

    Welcome, it is good you joined us.

    As Caronnade said, don't worry about your English. It is far, far better than my French.

    Welcome Dmitri. Since my French is non-existent, your English is infinitely better than my foreign language skills.

    Welcome! We can always ask "Qu'est-ce que vous avez dit ?" but Skipper here lives in France if you have questions. I assure you your English is 99X better than most of our French ! I took 4 years of French and it has provided many a Frenchmen much amusement trying to guess what I am trying to say.

    On a more serious note do you mind telling us what area in France do you happen to live? Much activity in your beautiful country in WW2.
    Your name sounds Russian . Any Russian ancestry ?

    Enjoy your stay and we look forward to heraring your comments.

    Welcome,

    Do you live anywhere near the Saumur tank museum? Hope you do so you can post plenty of pictures. :)

    Ask anything you like about the US.

    Bonjour Dimitri, enjoy your stay here with us. Practise your English and you'll be fluent in Texan dialect soon. There are quite a few from the Old South as well and other Yanks of course, but fortunately we also have some antidote from Canada , Europe and elswewhere to counterbalance. We have fun with each other, but most of all we are a bunch of friends with mutual respect and spend some time talking about what we have in common: WW2

    Hello guys :),

    Yes of course, no problem, I live in the East of France ,It's a good place for metal detecting because there was a lot of history with the "prise de Belfort", The "prise de Belfort" was a battle if I remembering well, In 1944 were German soldiers took the "fort of Belfort" and after the US soldiers with foreign soldiers took again the city:

    Bonjour et bienvenue ici.
    Je vais relever le niveau de Français ici... :dance3:
    Moi aussi, je vis dans l'Est de la France. Il y juste un point qui me dérange dans ta présentation, c'est la detection. Très réglementé en France, et souvent pratiquée sans autorisations. :evil2:

    Hello and welcome here.
    I will raise the level of French here ... :dance3:
    I also live in eastern France. There is just one point that bothers me in your presentation its the detection. Highly regulated in France, and often performed without authorization :evil2:

    Ah enfin un français je ne suis pas seul ;),
    Non pas du tout, ce n'est pas "très réglementé", sa dépends encore de quoi on veux détecter. Le seul point réglementé c'est l’archéologie et Verdun, après il ne faut pas mettre tout les détectoristes dans le même sac...je détecte uniquement dans les bois et champs qui ne sont pas fermés et plantés et rebouche toujours mes trous...je ne suis pas un "pilleur de tombe" ou autre.
    Il faut différencier la détection de loisir (comme moi) et la détection professionnelle (la ou c'est pas forcement très légal.)

    No at all, its not very regulated, it's depends of what you want detect. I practice the detection during my spare time and i'm not a professional or looter (I don"t traduce all, it will be difficult ).

    Bye

    Oh yes ! It's highly regulated in France, even for individuals ! Believe otherwise, would be a mistake.
    I'll answer you in MP.

    Welcome Dimitri. I hope you do not detect minefields on your bare feet by jumping around.
