Hi, As my nickname might tell I'm a relic hunter. I'm half french half belgian. Lived most of my life in Normandie. I'm digging a few years now. My area's are Hurtgenwald, Normandie and the ardennes. I came across this forum seeking to ID a bottle I found, marked nordmark. Found the same one in a thread of VGD272. I will try to post pictures of some of my finds ASAP. I'm looking to hook up with diggers from Belgium, Netherlands and France, becouse I'm tired of hunting on my owne and maybe share some of my sweetspots. I have an extensive knowledge of the ardennes battlefields and Normandie. I hope you will enjoy the pictures of my relic's Greetings, WW2hunter
Welcome and I'll copy the others in saying I look forward to any pictures and comments about your finds. Please don't forget to show pictures of the areas where you go too. Those are just as interesting
Hello and welcome to the forum...from one relic hunter to another! I've also done a fair bit of searching in all of the places you mention and will be again in Normandy in May/June of this year...and possibly in Germany later in the year. Looking forward to seeing photos of what you have found.
Thanks for the warm welcome. I will post some right this minute in living history. Greetings to you all, I hope you will enjoy
Welcome and do be careful. I'm sure you are aware that some of those relics are still quite dangerous.
I do know that, I've recovered loads of ammunition's ranging from plane bomb's(My village in Normandy was wiped of the surface of the earth during operation GOODWOOD), AT-mines, grenades, etc... My military training and experiance with them come's in handy and a few buddy's from the belgian EOD also. But I have to agree with you that sometimes there are still some nasty surprises hidden under the dirt. On another note I've just tried to upload pictures but they are to big(all over 2MB), can someone help me out? Grtz
Try signing up for a free account at Image hosting, free photo sharing & video sharing at Photobucket, then you can post your pics as image links.
Isn't it possible to downsize them? If not I will try the photobucket option but don't have clue on how that works...
I don't think you can downsize them on here. This link gives you more info- Reading and Posting Messages If you register on photobucket, you can upload pics straight from your PC. Under each one will be a url like http://www.photobucket.com/y123/albums/yourname/photonameandnumber; you can then cut and paste them here with at the beginning and end.
You can use Fotosizer to reduce your images down to a few Kilobytes. You should then be able to upload them. Fotosizer Batch Image Resizer - Image resizing made easy Gordon's suggestion is a lot better as it enables you to display photos in a larger format.
Have to post them like this? I have +- 500 pictures at min.2MB a piece this might take a while.lol But I think I will figure this one out. let me know if this is the right way and if it works
