Had to get a new cupboard - My collection UPDATED !

[Steve T]

Well I have had to add yet more display cases !

These old display cases were going to be thrown out so I made claim to them.

They are only perspex but do keep the items nicely covered and safely out of harms way.

The top little case has the grenade nuts and striker arms, (and one big hunk of grenade), in it. These were all found at a gunnery range over the past few years. I've transferred them here as they were not very visible in my main cupboard.

The second case has the finds from the dump last weekend. Still got more to clean up yet though so it will get a lot fuller

The bottom cabinet is the finds from the USAAF air gunnery training school. I counted over 200 spent .50cal bullets before I got fed up of counting

Hope you like them. Click on the pics to enlarge them

Hi all

It's been a good while since i first posted pics of my relic cabinet, so it's about time I updated it

I have found so much that I have had to get another cupboard already !

I have also had to modify my original one, installing new shelves, hooks on the back panel to hold some stuff and a NEW feature on the front of little shelves showing different types of cartridge.

As well as the pictures below, some of you may like to see my collection in a different way. I put together a video of it as well !

Hope you like it

hi steve
you have a wonderful collection, i am just curious as to what make / model of metal detector you use?
cheers jamie

[Steve T]

Jamie - I use a Bounty Hunter mid range model. The one I have is about 5 years old now and isn't made any more but the equivalent would be the Sharp Shooter II.

Cheers

hi steve thanks for the reply
i have a whites classic III i have found a few old 303 cartridge cases in my area, but unfortunatley the only army / firing range that is near me is still in use. there is a old operational ww2 airfield near me, part of it is still in use for light aircraft and a lot of it is common land i think, so i dont know where i stand with permisson to search it etc.
cheers jamie
