Barn finds of a different type.

[VTJUNK]

I've been checking out what these guys in Europe, especially Eastern Europe and Russia, have been finding in the woods, attics, barns and sheds. Imagine pulling a WWII German tank out of a swamp and having it still be in very good condition, complete with guns, ammo, and personal effects. Seems there is stuff everywhere. Most get restored for museums. There are fields being excavated around Stalingrad and you wouldn't believe the artifacts they are finding.

Scroll to the near bottom of the page for the battlefield archeology forum. You will have to create a user id to view much more than a few pages, but it's worth it.

Here's one being pulled from a bog where it was almost completely submerged. This was near the Eastern front.



Same tank after cleaning. Seems most of them clean up this well. Amazing.
