Nik_B 3,791 Posted December 15, 2016 Report Share Posted December 15, 2016 Yep I'm the same I love finding stuff like that. I did some research on the WW2 lines of defense (when they thought the Germans were going to invade) near where I used to live, there were a lot of pill boxes and various other things to be found.
