Footage former Maas front trenches Holland

[Weasel]

Were you guys not worried about sticking that shovel into something that goes BOOM? I always see on tv were the farmers are plowing up shells and stuff.

There is a very good documentary on THE HISTORY CHANNEL called "Digging up the trenches". They excavated the British and German trenches that faced each other in Flanders. Found A frames, dug outs, MG posts, and some skeleton parts. Oh yeah, a rubber boot too.

NO restrictions on digging up artifacts there I take it? They sure do get mad at you if you do that on a Civil War battlefield! Man, I would be out there every day with my metal detector.

Thanks for the post and movie. BTW - was your brother wearing a uniform?
