Heres a link to another forum where someone’s posted a site with things found in or around Russia, http://www.militaryphotos.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=13017 there’s some very nice finds like a FW 190 still in its camouflage and markings the original site links there but all I can find on the original site are old coins,
T34/76 being pulled out from a swamp
How long before they turn up on Ebay
That is too cool…talk about a fun job…
Wow … it’s like a one-stop used military hardware shop !!!
Wow now what I would if I found that stuff in my back yard,…sure wont put it up on ebay.
Ivan to Igor…“Sooo, Vhat do you tink this be worth on Black Market”?
I’ll take 2
this makes me wanna buy a cargo ship, go to russia, and loader er up!
Holy [censored]! Are you kidding me? Why don’t they just stick up a sign, Bovington or Aberdeen? I betcha there’s probably Sputnick and Amelia Erhardt (?) there somewhere.
Great find, Captain !
Nice site !
Cool, it’s like a heavy duty treasure hunt.
Y’know, I still have room next to my driveway for a rusty old vehicle! (the neighbors have plows and other ‘rural’ things… wouldn’t an old tank look GREAT!?) Makes one want to go to Russia with a metal detector, eh what?

Capt, your killing me here, seeing all this history roting around![:D] Look at this!!! A FW-190!!! Get that thing restored!!!
My oldest son is from a previous marriage, and lives in a small town in Massachusetts. On the weekends that he doesn’t come to visit me, I go up and visit him. So we go out to dinner at a local place, and as we’re going into the restaurant, I’m telling him and his mom about the newest kit I’m building, an 8" howitzer, and his mom says, “wow, that sounds like a big gun. Almost like that one.” She points across the street, and there is an 8" howitzer, parked on some guy’s lawn. The exact gun I am building.
Somebody should cross-post this to the air board. Those guys will have a heart attack when they see this.
i have posted it on the wingys
Original glass, original paint, original iron crosses, original equipment, guys before I was an armor fan I was a flyboy and I’m getty a sense of the old wingy-liking feeling again and the anger is building when I see this history rot!!! [|(]
Look at this thing! It’s a sturmashutz or jagdpanther or something, but if that was in my backyard, I hide it in my 3rd garage or make a shed around it!
Look at this, looks like a flying tank sturkmov (spelled wrong)! And the photographer is letting it rot and rust in the cold snow!!!
Look at this!!! A panzer 4 turret!!! Get it out of the elements, please somebody!!!
Allright everybody, lets go have a picnic in our nearby forest. Holy [;)]!!! What’s this?
OK, hold your breath, walk away slowly and call the bomb squad- NOW!!! It’s kinda common sense to get those out of the elements!!![:P]
Somebody’s gotta do something!!![:(]
I understand about the stuff laying under the shade of the trees in a forest. I mean, it may be decades before anyone even comes upon it. But what is amazing is that Sturmovik, which appears to be laying around in a field.
The SU-85 (or SU-100?) appears to be out in plain sight too.
I had an Egyptian girlfriend once, and she told me that there are tanks laying all over the Sinai, just rusting away, Egyptian and Israeli, enemies in life, comrades in death.
I’ve seen a documentary about the Battle of Berlin and they were near the Seelow heights talking to some locals, the locals said about the Artillery position that was just left in the woods after the war, it had a full load of ammo, they took some to the local East German Border guards and told them, the reply was “So what” just as long as its not on Military land
All the things on the two sites have been found by collectors and will be sold to the highest bidder im sure of
I’ve got a link to hard targets ill post when I find it
Now they are some things that should be rescued (shermans,M10s,fireflys)
Wow. And did you read the posts below those pics? They said the T-34 engine started and the tank was driven off.
theres another site that they found a IS 2 and a T34/85 in the same bog

the tanks were full of ammo and after they were cleaned up they tryed the machine guns and they worked
