WW2 ordnance recovered from disposal area

**RRPG** · 10-04-2017 11:20 AM

Hi Guys

Sorry it has been a while since I last posted, but I have been filming a new documentary series for the History Channel in the UK icon

! The show, 'WW2 Treasure Hunters' is due to commence airing from 9th October 2017 at 9pm.

Since the filming has taken up so much of my time, I've not been out recovering WW2 relics on my own for a while. But last week, I got out! Visited an old permission of mine where the RAOC disposed of lots of unwanted ordnance at the end of WW2.

I've put together a video of the dig, showing lots of cool and unusual WW2 relics being recovered. Hope you like it

Oh.....and if you're in the UK, make sure you watch my new TV show!

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Did any one see the news article about the mustard gas bombs recovered near woodhall spa? 2 men have been charged with possession of a noxious liquid.

I think they were also charged with illegal digging. No permission in place for where they were!

Would this not be a civil offence in the U.K. nowadays like trespass or is the act of digging a hole in someone else's land, without permission, considered "criminal damage" in it's self, by U.K. courts?

What, won't I be able to get my Colman's ENGLISH mustard anymore or are they moving production to Eastern Europe/somewhere else? If they are moving production to another country, to comply with E.U. regulations, surely it will have to be renamed by the country in which it is made?

Nope going from Norwich but noone knows where, wont be the same like everything else

NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! Tell me it's not so!

It sounds like they are going to continue production but, probably, at another site, one would hope within the U.K..
