Huge amount of WW2 relics recovered - WW2 Treasure Hunters TV show

[RRPG]

Hi all

Thought I'd share the relics recovered during the filming of episode 3, season 2, WW2 Treasure Hunters. We were searching an old ordnance depot in Weedon, UK, and recovered a huge quantity of WW2 relics.

There are a LOT of pictures, too many for the forum, but I have posted a group shot below and a link to the blog where you can view all the finds.

Lots of stuff we can recognize, including a very bent Sten...

[RRPG]

It's actually lots of parts laid together to look like a complete (bent) one.

I saw that after when looking at the various pics...still, lots of rich stuff.

Would be classic for that reverse electrolysis...

How does England treat old ammo? Does it have to be surrendered to authorities?

[Gil Boyd]

Certainly does if found, it has to be turned in, unless its on your certificate and it comes from a legally recognised source.

Unless your a collector of ammo and its on your ticket IIRC its 3000 you can have.......no size limit unless its armour pearcing or expanding.

My first thoughts.........

Re the old ammo,the parts are a different matter.

The barrels are considered 'live' until they have been deactivated, same for any pressure bearing parts.

You can argue deactivated by any other means.

But in this rabid anti gun culture....
