As soon as I can go there, I will.
I'm trying to get infos on what I'll find there.

I hoped it would be a SdKfz 251 at first, but he precised "not tracked".
So no Kettenkrad either.

I'm sad, but happy.

Also, he found some 20mm HE shells in his garden, as well as a shitload of fired and not fired .50BMG.
Some months ago he digged out a box of Stielhandgranate and used one in a fox "den".

pic related is the 20mm shell.

>>32826159
I hate to play doubles advocate, but think about why your friend keeps coming across these things.

Your friend has come across more ammunition, weapons, including an unrecovered and intact fighting vehicle, and explosives in a few months than many amateur historians and archaeologists have in decades.

Firearms and vehicles are usually fair game, because they're easy to inspect, repair and restore. Explosives and ammunition is never a good idea to experiment with even if you know what you are doing.

>>32826208
So you're saying it's only make-believe ?

The bunker is on "hunting land", so it's closed off to anyone, except his family and friends, and they go there almost only on hunting season.

I have trouble thinking he assembled the car himself inside to impress me.

Or do you mean he's just completely autist for using a live german grenade to blow up a fox's den ? Because I agree on that

Sometimes I'm mad jelly of eurotrash.

At most i could find some insian burial mound and get haunted

>>32826250
I'm not saying it's make believe. I'm saying that he's come across more unexploded ordnance in the area around where you live than the people who dedicate it find in decades.

Don't you find that at least slightly odd?

>>32826276
Its France. As someone who lives somewhat close to France I can confirm there is a lot of space there for stuff to be forgotten.

>>32826250
>>32826276
>inb4 OPs grandparent was secretly Nazi and hid a shit ton of stuff

>>32826255
I'm jealous of americans for gun laws.

Everything is pricey as hell, I can't defense myself or my home without getting buttfucked. And you can kiss doggo goodbye if you have a gun outside the safe and the cops find out.

But yeah, sometimes we're lucky

>>32826276
I find it odd of course. A bunker with a not broken vehicle, it's already strange no one found it., but still.

I never found anything in my garden.

He found a 20mm shell, cartridges and grenades. My best friend lives in bumfuck nowhere, Picardy, and his father found a rotting corpse in his fields once. With french dog tag and everything.

Hold on, I'll try to find the photos I took of his collection

>>32826102

Treasure that machine gun, if it's functional you can register it and own something that normally costs as much as a car to purchase.

>>32826312
Go look. If you like cars, keep it, if not try to sell it to a museum or a collector.

>>32826159
Looks like 20x138mmB aka 20mm long solothurn.
Nice and definitely German.

>>32826312
>not broken vehicle
Wait, what kind of condition is it in?

>>32826409
I have no idea.
As far as I know, only the wheels are missing.
He just saw it, he didn't inspect it. The engine could be gone, we don't know yet

>>32826443
well keep us updated nigger, this could potentially be cooler than that guy who found an MP40 under a boulder.

It is not uncommon to find long lost forgotten things, especially in Europe. Even in America this is the case.

>Own rural property
>Driveway runs through two other properties
>thought this would be an issue prior to purchasing
>lumber yard that owns parcel 1 does not give a fuck and the man told me so himself
>parcel 2 is in the care of estate of an old lady, and the lady over the estate is her daughter in Connecticut and I couldn't even get a hold of her

So basically parcel 2 is about 7 acres of forgotten farmland with a house, barn, etc. Just sitting out in rural Georgia rusting away.

And in France, where most of your people live in a handful of areas, I'm not surprised shit like this goes undiscovered for decades. I can tell you that in the South, you will regularly find old cars and liquor stills and sometimes even guns out in the woods.

From what I can gather an mg mount was a field modification to the kubelwagen

>>32826522
OP here. My grandfather still has some cider from his birth year. 1945. He has a cellar full of bottles of cider. Sometimes one or two go off randomly or explode but that's it.

It's a nice cider.

>>32826102
>>32826159
As always, pics or it didnt happen.

>>32826102
Get it running then go mow down rapeyoufrees while wearing an SS uniform.
If its a USA vehicle, wear MAGA hats.
If its a bong vehicle, wear top hats.
If its a French vehicle, surrender it.
If its Italian, drive it in reverse.

In any case, put it to good use, napoleon will smile down on you.

Determine what it is, then make money by selling it, perhaps after a light cleanup.

I don't have pics of the bunker or of the car. I'll go check on it as soon as I can, perhaps this weekend.

On the mean time I'll dump photos from my best friend's father when I get from from the shitty SD card it's on

>>32826102
Whatever it is, buy it from him. I'm jelly af

Found the photos, there are 26 of them, I'll dump while I wait for more infos on the car.

First a Pikelhaube and a Webley (I think)

>>32826102
Make sure not to let anyone know about the machine gun. If the authorities find out they'll probably melt it for scrap.

>>32826159
Last time I was in France I was visiting my sister who just became a citizen there. We drove through alot of old ww1 battlefields and I wanted to stop at the memorials etc. She was less enthusiastic about them, but still nuts how much crap people still find

Don't know if they're live or not, but I don't think they are.

I'll convert some clips to webms and post them later. There's one of a 12' howitzer shell

>>32826933
where is this Museum?

>>32827092
from the looks of it, a shack or garage in bumfuck nowhere

>>32827092
In a shed in his house. It's an old house so he took the shed/garage and made a little museum inside.
It's in the middle of bumfuck nowhere. Literally.

>>32827020
Top level stuff m8. Thanks for sharing!

Amazing stuff, OP
Thanks for sharing, one thing I do envy about europeans is how easy you can find WW2 surplus around.

>>32827495
>>32827516

I have some movies but they're in .MOV and I can't convert them to webms without getting shit quality. I'll try to find a solution. Or if you have an idea...

>>32827129
he should be carefull with those grenades and mortar, French authorties would confiscate his collection and probably jail him if they found out

>>32827630

Sure.

This thread reminds me of a crazy czech guy I've met on the internet that used to sell some surplus like that, he even had some videos throwing off grenades at his farm and blowing stuff with them.

>>32826255
and we're jelly of amerifats because of your gun laws.

But yeah, sometimes, there's some gun gems here too.

Best story is from a friend of mine. Some neighbor of him had a grandpa who snuck into a German barracks in WW2 and stole Lugers and helmets.

Fast forward to the nineties, this guys grandchildren showed up at halloween or a carnival at the school, fully dressed in nazi uniforms, and with fully functional, unregistered Lugers in their holsters.

Some other guy's got a fully functional, unregistered StG-44 on the wall.

Rural Europe is a bit more tolerant towards awesome behavior than the cities.

(until recently), boys had penises and girls had vaginas.

That's what I understood. I'm going there next weekend (so about the 10th) and will bring back photos.
I can't go sooner I'm sorry

It's a G98. The K98a doesn't have the rollercoaster sight.

>>32834635

Nah, that makes sense. Especially if the gun is ruined anyway. Right after the war, rubber was a rationed/scarce goods along with many other things. A nice set of tires was a valuable commodity.

>>32826102
Since you're obviously in contact with him, why not just ask him for a sketch?

Send some armored car pictures to him!

>>32836076
Will do when he comes back from his "blanks" finals. I'm going there around the 10th anyway, I'll be able to confirm what it is or if he tried to dupe me.
