HI all
Thought I would start off my membership of this great forum with a recent trip I made to a old gunnery range in the UK. It was only used between 1942 and 1945 but even so, the volume of relics there is quite amazing. This is mainly due to the fact that it is not a well known range and hence hasn't been blitzed by relic hunters like myself.
It was mainly used by the British Army but one section of it was used by the RAF and USAAF to practice ground attack.
I only use my MD to find WW2 relics, having a great interest in them. I am also the chairman of the WW2 Relic Retrieval and Preservation Group, hence my forum name, RRPG. Over the years I have become something of an expert on WW2 relics and, in particular, cartridge cases. I would be more than happy to help ID any military objects you may have unearthed.
Here is a link to a video I made of the finds I made on the day. Hope you enjoy it.

There are a number of other videos in my channel and all pertain to digging up WW2 relics, the majority, (although not all !!), with the aid of a metal detector.
It may not be as glamorous as finding a gold coin of Roman artifact, but I still get a buzz out of unearthing a little piece of WW2 history even now, after 10 years of digging !
Cheers
