Reply With Quoteafew more pic's Items come from a rocky area if the metal is touching the ground it will range from light pitting to very heavy pitting but if above ground or even better having come to rest sitting on some rocks they are almost perfect still showing all stamps and even lathe marks from the machining process just need to run over them with a wire wheel on the angle grinder first two show what was found please note the 25 pdr that has had a PE demo to just behind the fuse at some stage next shows my mates home made bomb transporter and last two show two more 25 pdr carrier in situ Will visit another mate in the next few days to take a pic of a 25 pdr embedded in a tree trunk so stay tuned to this station

Last sundays efforts out bush
Here are some more items found out bush last sunday My mate who is ex eod noticed a fire had gone thru a patch of bush in an old artillary range area so we went for a look here some pic's of the safe stuff Also found were a HE 25pdr and a live 3" mortar Army bomb disposal have been notifed and gps details supplied to them. First two pic's show the terrain it's bloody rough country next two show a 25pdr carrier embedded and then removed and the last shows one that was placed on a termite nest about ten years ago when he last visited it still shows traces of original paint will post more pic's soon
Regards 25thapril

Hello 25th,
The ash on the ground hasn't even had time to blow away. The fire must have gone through a day or two before. Nothing like a nice Sunday walk to see what you can find on the ground, lol. Great finds !!!
Cheers,
