Welcome to the forum ! Amazing ! where is it ??
Hi Susantommy
Amazing pics, where did you find the photos or did you take them?
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.

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