Welcome to the new MCN forum, it's a rehash of our old forum. Unfortunately, I don't have the database sorted yet, but I'm working on it. I MAY be able to get all the old posts back, but I'm not sure yet. Anyway, onwards and upwards. Let's make this the best militaria forum on the web. Any queries, feel free to give me a shout.

How do I change my user name?

Hi All Just finished off the latest addition to my War Room ceiling. GORGEOUS FW190 A6........Lovely kit to build and paint, and I think it's come out very nicely. Pics of the other models on the ceiling also shown below. Current project is a 1/32nd scale Heinkel 111. She is a MONSTER! Watch this space.....

So far I am liking it! Still playing around in here. Maybe some back ground color changes? But so far so good! This is Tony Smith by the way

Hi all With permission secured from the landowner, I went on my first dig of 2016 on Wednesday. I went back to one of my favorite haunts, a site where the British army dumped tons of stuff at the end of WW2. This site is incredible, not only because of its size, (about the size of a football pitch), but also because of the wide variety of relics that can be found there. Digging can be hard going, and deep, (I was 8 feet down on this dig and still hadn't hit the bottom of the dump layer), but the rewards substantial. So, here is what I recovered during the 4 hour dig..... Condenser pipe connectors from a Browning M1917 and Vickers MG. Connects the condenser pipe to the jacket. Close up of the Vickers adapter Starter tabs for cloth ammo belts from a Vickers belt. One Mk 3 recovered on this trip.... Starter tabes from a Browning M1917 cloth belt, along with some 303s, (no British site is complete without one!), and a caouple of 30 cal drill rounds, minus the projectile. Find of the day...........trigger and hand grip from a Lewis MG Diagram of the Lewis bits, showing the trigger and hand grip Lee-Enfield No 1 nose caps. Cleaned up nicely Lee-Enfield butt plates, and what looks to me like the action from a Remington rolling block rifle. This is a bracket from a BESA case catcher bag. Picture showing the bracket, (top right). Lots and LOTS of buckles from webbing and various slings. Finally, this thing. I have now found 10 of these at this site but have yet to ID what the hell it is off. It has been suggested it is an Energa grenade launcher adapter, but I can't find anything that looks like it. If you know what it is, please let me know!!! Thanks for looking. Hope you liked the finds. Steve T

It was easy, thank you.

I've changed the setup to allow a user name change once every 30 days. Please don't abuse this or I'll switch it off.

Why thank you Most kind.

We already have an ordnance section, everything can go in there for now.

LOL! I am a true geek Lenny. It is said I can identify a rusty piece of crap from 50 yards, so long as it is something to do with WW2.

Okey dokey. You is the boss......

That's entirely down to my awesomeness. Of which you will soon learn........

I dun nuffin! It did it all by itself. Honest guv!

Hi Lenny The title 'archaeology' will attract negative comments from archaeologists. Not that I give a shit about them after what they have been calling me of late, but it won't hurt to change the forum title. I suggest 'Relics and Rust' as a title instead. Steve T

Me neither, but the arseholes will spend HOURS on twitter discussing it......

Hi Lenny can't seem to find anything about editing my signature. Also can't see where to add a picture to my profile, to display each time I post.

Indeed Mr Warren.......sad but true. Ignore the evidence before your eyes, (the clip of the helmet on the ground, under a bush and obviously not ground dug), and make your own mind up based on something you read. If it says it on the internet, it must therefore be true. Very sad.

I like "Relics and Rust", I'll steal that... Like I really care what archaelogists think...

A great start Lenny. Now.....let's see if I can break it......

How do I become a beta tester, and what does it involve?

I've test reported this post, just to see how it works...

Lenny seems to have already posted 100,033 times. Whilst his awesomeness cannot be denied, perhaps his post count should? Do I get a negative rep point for this?
