Last year I found a infilled crater in North Devon on the coast, in the crater was loads of riveted armour / wheels etc all well rotted in. As I was walking with friends I didn't have a chance to have a good poke around / take many shots but the attached photo of one of the wheels shows that it is / was a Crusader tank (the wheels are pretty unique) - I imagine this is a pretty rare find ?- not sure why it was there - old WW2 range ? there were some bunkers dotted around. I'd love to go back and have a dig around but I think its on national Trust land and they are not that keen on people excavating stuff on their land.......hope this link to the photo works...
