Bomb disposal squads are obviously very active at this time of year. Crazy to think that over 102 years on from the end of World War 1 there are still people technically being killed by it. When me and my brother were over in the Somme in France, we went through a field close to the Lochnagar crater, which was the site of the biggest underground explosion of all time at the time (basically trench miners dug under enemy trench systems, planted loads of bombs and set them off, they usually set them off just before an offensive where troops went over the top of the trench), when we walked through the field almost instantly we found bullets, bullet shells, sharpnel, old shell casings (bombs with no detonators attached/exploded already) and pigtail iron (thick iron poles used for holding up barbed wire infront of trenches) and we were only in the field a matter of minutes and we weren't opver there during the harvest season. We also saw piles of shells already dug up by farmers/landowners in Ypres, Belgium, at a place called the Hoog crater, piles and piles of old bombs etc. man was pretty cool Quote Please expand for maximum vomit 12th April 2021 24th April 2021 12th May 2021 TRWF PK Leader ¦ Legends Never Die Leader ¦ Clan Envy Warlord Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't suppose there's anywhere I could go ahead and read/watch to learn more about the Iron Harvest? Sounds like it'd make one hell of a war documentary.

I haven't heard of any documentaries or anything about it surprisingly, there's mentions of it in a few things I've watched on YouTube but that's it. In France, there's a city called Verdun, where there was a huge offensive from the Germans on the French and British forces for months on end, and there is an area called "The Red Zone" where people are still not allowed to go today, due to all the live explosives and chemicals that were left once the war had ended ( very high levels of radiation in the soil and water table in the area too), tourists still go there though, sneaking through, and loads die because of explosions or get ill because of the spoil. Nah we were just over as tourists, I think it's set archaelogist type companies that do a lot of the cleanups and excavations, I'm not aware of any charities but there may be some, if there are I'll be applying haha so might look into this. You can go over as an amature digger but you need to get permission from the farmers/landowners etc. unless you go to one of the public trails where there were trench lines (there are loads of maps showing you these as you walk/drive around the towns) and dig behind the trees, we found a few spots where people had been doing this. I can imagine it would be amazing fun with a metal detector in these parts, you'd find loads man.
