Cool finds. I'd like to see some of the stuff that is still in caves an tunnels that have been/were blown shut/caved in with over pressure. Bet some of that stuff is still serviceable.

Cool pics buffalowinter! Thanks for sharing!

Just interesting pics I got on my FaceBook feed. This guy/group has been doing this for a while and finds all kinds of stuff...not really surprised given the size of the conflict and the numbers involved.

Those span cans stayed sealed all these years. That ammo looks brand new.
Very cool, and sad, pics.

Yep, I was thinking I would try a few rounds of the 7.62x54R
