Hey guys
Well i simply couldn't WAIT to post here today, given i have found what i think is the most exciting thing i have EVER found !
I haven't even had time to clean everything properly yet so my apologies for only showing some of the finds.....I am just too excited.
You can tell from the title I have been back to my WW2 airfield. This airfield is in amazing condition and is also almost untouched by relic hunters like me. It was RAF and then handed to the USAAF half way through the war so i get a mix of finds.
Take a look and PLEASE SOMEONE put my mind at ease.....am I right about the exciting find
?
First some pictures of the digging in action.
OK....HERE IS MY EXCITING FIND IN THE GROUND. I DIDN'T JUST FIND ONE OF THESE THINGS.....I FOUND THREE WITHIN ABOUT 5 FEET OF EACH OTHER !!!!
Ok...here is what i found after 4 hours of detecting.....
And here is some of it after i gave the stuff an initial clean.....
SO HERE ARE MY MOST EXCITING FINDS. THREE OF THE LITTLE BUGGERS !!! SOMEONE PLEASE CONFIRM FOR ME THAT THEY ARE INDEED THE EXHAUST PORTS FROM A MERLIN ENGINE !!
Ok.....i've calmed down a bit now. Onto the other stuff
A 30 calibre rifle case....unfired but empty.
Some 50 calibre bullets....and yet AGAIN another of those damn cut through ones. What on EARTH did the men do this for ? Anyone know ?
Some 50 calibre casings to go with the bullets....
A blass plate off something. Can anyone help ??
Another one of those caps I found. It maybe a fuel filler or glycol cap. This one's in better condition than the last one i found. Anyone confirm what it is ?
A gasket for one of the exhaust ports !!!!
Another bomb kidney plate (this time in two pieces.....it wasn't me ! Honest ! I found it like that !)
A silver plate thingy....anyone any idea what it could be ? Some intersting markings on it to.
A slide cover for a hydraulic braking system !
And lastly a small tin of snuff !!!
That's it !! Hope you like the finds and can help me !!!
