      Well Josh, I don't know. What do you think "archaeologists" have been doing for the past hundred years in the desserts of Arabia, the mountains of Africa and South-America? I don't think they took the 4x4 with the metal-detectors. And what these guys are doing is stupid and disrespectful to history. First, those Hafthohlladüngen looked pretty intact and although they look rusty on the outside, if the fuses are still intact and the inside charge isn't eaten, I wouldn't handle em like that. Second, why not dig a little bit further and take those crates out gently. They would have been intact. A little patience goes far. Every collector knows that. This is just plundering.

      @@bobhenry6159 putting powder into the original casing is easy. All old boomers reload their brass.
      $5 for the original brass&bullet, a few cents for the powder and primer, and you have yourself a cartridge indistinguishable from what Hans would have used on the eastern front.
      It's even better than using originals as the primers will have degraded by now to such an extend that it takes a second or two to ignite the powder. It's extremely irritating if you know what I'm talking about.
      Plus with 100% OG rounds you never know how it was stored which greatly impacts the pressure. There's nothing quite like the joys of having your vintage gun explode an inch from your face due to massive overpressure.

    Not much in the way of trying to preserve any of the wooden crates which I would think were in great condition considering how long they've been in the ground. They almost looked like they were looters trying to find anything they could sell right away. Just Sayin'.

      That is exactly what they are. They sell the stuff they find (except of course the ammo and guns) on Ebay.

      Pretty sure they ARE looters.
