Hi Susantommy

Amazing pics, where did you find the photos or did you take them?

**LUCKYSTRIKE** · 01-08-2009, 01:07 AM

Unbelievable, absolutely amazing, do you know any of the history?, how they ended up there rusting away? Did you visit the site and acquire a few choice peices for your own collection? I'm really surprised that the owner of the site or for that matter the locals living near don't collect a few to sell. Not only is there a large monetary value the historic value is immense, it makes me want to weep.
Thanks for posting it's an awsome first post.

Nice pics

I can not see any Tommy guns, but some rusted MG34 and Mausers.

Apart from that there are mostly new (-ish) stuff from after WWII. I can not cry over the batches of AK47s - enough of those to go around.

There are loads of mortars, US M60 MGs, AK47, RPG launcher tubes, and Browning Heavy MGs. There are even a few six barreled revolving "Gatling" MGs and what I think looks like an Eddystone rifle. Also a german G3 or CETME in the pics. I am going out on a limb here, but there is what looks like a Hotchkiss at the bottom in the tenth pic.

I suspect debris from some Asian conflict - Vietnam or a neighbour?

I may be wrong but aren't the Thompson's (Tommy Guns) the third from last photo.

Nice pics

Some MG34, K98s.

Most of it is new (-ish) stuff from after WWII. I will not cry over the rusted AKs as there are enough of those to go round.

There are mortars, US M60 MGs, a recoilless gun, a few six barreled revolving "Gatling" MGs, RPG launchers, Browning Heavy MGs, what looks like an Eddystone rifle, a german G3 or CETME rifle and I might be going out on a limb here, but it looks like a Hotchkiss MG in one of the pics.

I suspect debris from an asian conflict - Vietnam or a country in that area.
