Adam Elkins Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 I was talking to a guy the other day, who said after the war they used to dig big holes and bury vehicles. not far from me under a now car sales garage he said they berried loads of American kit so they didn't have to transport it home. would they have done that is it true?

Bazz Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 I know an ex Ordnance Corps chap who served 44-46, who told me that a lot of kit was buried and a lot was dumped out at sea to save the expense/hassle of taking the stuff back to the USA.

6 X 6 Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Was there any truth in the story, widely reported a few years ago, of a large quantity of US kit especially H.D. motorcycles being buried somewhere along the Dorset coast ? With so many people combing the countryside with metal detectors as a hobby, you would think that anything still out there would have been found by now. It's a lovely idea to think that there might still be something waiting to be discovered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirhc Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 The Ferrets were at Chris Muys in Belgium, I think they are now all in the UK or with collectors. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a lovely idea to think that there might still be something waiting to be discovered. These stories always circulate from time to time and i am sure there must be truth in some of them, along with the dumping of troley bus`es buy local authorities etc. I belive hundreds of aroured MV`s were left behind after the first Gulf war to save the expense of shipping them back to the states. I rember form my old detecting days in the Falaise gap, the first place to practise was the ditches / by the side of the roads where lots of small bits and bobs could be found whilst tuning your detector.

Rick W Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Its a field outside Berlin late 1945. difficult to make out quite what it is... But if you can enlarge various bits, its a field stuffed full of US vehicles parked up. These look like halftracks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

messerschmitt owner Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 If you want the address you could pop along with your metal detector, who knows wot you mite find? supposedly, at the back of the old cattle market in Gloucester, between what is B&Q and he railway line, a lot of stuff was buried at theend of the war! True? or false? Who knows, but it's a great story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
messerschmitt owner Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 Central Vehicle Depot Aschurch is just up the road. I heard tales of Harley Davidsons being buried inside the depot somewhere it is indeed. Oh and Beaufort's Dyke contains so much more than old ordnance - they used to take the odd aircraft carrier out of Cairnryan and liberally dump equipment and vehicles off the flight deck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
