Archeologists find the strangest things

[Mesquite]

As the title says

It turns out some archeologists in search of a Roman villa in German didn't find exactly what they were looking for and it was a bit more recent as well

More details can be found here

Y'know ? if you're going to find something intruded into the strata, it might as well be interesting

Nice find

Nice. Soviet VHF radio

"labeled in English with the Roman alphabet" German SSD.

No doubt many more buried all across Western Europe.
Wonder what batteries they used?

Santaman, what equipment did your country hide in Eastern Europe?

Back in 1960 one turned up as a farmer ploughed his field near Aberystwyth. link

at least this was a harmless find...
in the late 1990ties i picked up a strange-looking plastic box which lay upside-down in a small patch of forest surrounded by fields. turning it sideways i noticed russian writing -- looking at the top made me realize i was holding an anti personal mine with approximately 200g of explosives in my hand....

Loads and loads of hardware and personnel.

I guessed Santaman was a military man, then police I thought, but it seems you could have been a spook too judging from posts. Remind me to be especially polite to santaman in the future. He might be the real FiL from meet the Fokkers.!!!!

LOL. No, not a spook. My last 8 years in the Air Force was in a special Ops wing though; so I learned not to ask questions when the sporks came through (we did a lot of the insertion and extraction of spooks I to their missions)

Makkedonaldo and Birgerkink did open a bunch of eateries really fast once the commies were out.
I guess your spooks did some surveillance for them?

Operation Kinky Donald?
