Steve T Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Hi All WW2 relics are a great thing to collect, but sometimes you can find things that are a little......unusual! So, to test your knowledge, I thought I'd post a few of the relics I've recovered over the years that were a little less obvious than the usual cartridges and other ordnance. See if you can work out what they are...........I knew the second they came out of the ground, then I've been digging nothing but WW2 relics for 20+ years! Test one (an easy one to start with)...... What is this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
