The ultimate find, Its not a bottle - 11/16/2006 10:18:51 AM    Ace of spades   Posts: 184 Joined: 11/1/2006 Status: offline I was just surfing some of the military sites I go too and check out what these guys dug up. It is not a bottle. http://www.strategypage.com/military_photos/20061115163335.aspx If you are a fan of digging and you are into anything military, check out that link. They dig up a Russian T34 tank. But the reason this tank is so rare, is it was captured by the Germans and used against the Russians. It must be priceless. Enjoy Ace of spades Post #: 1

They dig up alot of those things in eastern Europe, the Ukraine and western Russia. Check out some of the Russian Musium sites. Cool stories. _____________________________ Warren Diggin down in Dixie, USA Work is for people who don't dig bottles President, Panhandle Cruisers http://www.panhandlecruisers.org/ (in reply to Ace of spades) Post #: 6

Many small ones were used for recoverey vehicles (towtrucks) and ammo carriers. Thousands of artillary pieces and hundreds of tanks were sent back to Germany to be refitted as German gun carriers and such and used in north Africa, the Balkins, Norway, Romaina and France. Many of these odd creations are in museums around the world. I guess that is enough of a history lession for now. I have been fasinated by this stuff since I was a small boy. _____________________________ Warren Diggin down in Dixie, USA Work is for people who don't dig bottles President, Panhandle Cruisers http://www.panhandlecruisers.org/ (in reply to GuntherHess) Post #: 8
