    Yes and an Amazing website and topic by Sebastien!

    Start with a cool souvenir,, an 88 flak shell base. Sebastiens theory seems accurate. The Germans cut off and tossed away this base from this shell and used the remainder of it for a smoke stack.

    Interesting item! To my eyes, it looks like an unfinished shell case ashtray. Cool souvenir!

    Lyudnikovs island or kessel. Sadly, this famous site appears to be forgotten about, its hard to find and not maintained or protected.

    Artyom and I found this part of the shell at 2015, Sept.

    I also want to say "thanks to Jim for two amazing days". For me it was like a real day off, I have just relax time - there was no work, no excavation, only communication and restaurans

    Today we finished the work on the position near Gorodisсhe, where we found our soldiers.

    and we found the lower part of the SN-42, with combat punctured.

    I sold these parts to one guy from Moscow... and recently he sent me a photo of a restored "armored jacket"

    I think he did a good job!

    Jeese that would be heavy to wear,, combine that with the rest of the kit.
