EDIT - second set of pics from page 14. A lot of comments to trawl through unfortunately :(

[frankist]

thats pretty cool.

[Quail]

I hope they get in to it today. Waiting for updates!

[origin_s135]

that's awesome, i can't wait for the updates.

[Quail]

Its been updated; they're in! (page 46)

[Nocomply24]

thats tight...maybe he will find some oldschool weapons.

[wrapmeup2005]

Crazy stuff, I wish I could have adventures like that here lol. He needs to post what they found!

[DOOK]

maybe he'll find hitler's body....

[[w]hite[r]abbit[x]]

damn that is pretty sweet.

[silviaguy240]

people that find stuff like this need to explore everything first, take pics THEN post.

[Thursday]

so is there only 2 sets of pics?


pg1 and pg14?


edit nvmd pg46

[DOOK]

boy that was anti climactic... it's pretty much just empty

[Thursday]

but look at it this way.

he can throw some doors on there and BAM



instant storage space.

[steve_o1989]

Would hve been better if they found an old school tank or a pile of guns or something. Still that would be pretty cool to have on your property.

[SW20Racer]

he says he mightve found a false floor.
waiting for updates.

[Matej]

That's pretty interesting, I've been to a few Nazi and partisan bunkers, really cool things.

[deolio]

i want to see what's under the false floor :wiggle:

[Quail]

Heres a quote for the lazies:

Hi folks. Back at the keyboard. Just spent some time tidying up and trying to fence off the entrance for safety. We had to dig a good 10 foot deep hole, and the surrounding rock is very loose. I hope it doesn't rain. Also a few people came round to have a look.

Right, where do I start. The tunnel (because that's what we now know it is) is definitely real. No photoshopping here :)

It's over 8 feet in diameter, and around 60 odd feet long. Its completely underground, apart from the opening we dug. No there wasn't any vintage mercedes or luftwaffe uniforms ;).

There were paint pots :rofl: (well, tar pots infact). No carpet though! There was genuine german WW2 barb wire (as someone spotted). There was also various stuff we couldn't recognise. We haven't taken anything out, or gone through it with a fine tooth comb.

There wasn't any gold bars visible to the naked eye :( , but then I put this into perspective by reminding myself that there is a 60 tunnel under the garden!

Oh, and did I mention there appears to be a false floor in part of it?

[azndoc]

Still pretty cool to find though.

I'd be excited.

[SW20Racer]

that jar he found is bound to be worth some bank to an antiques dealer

[iHeartTheTouge]

this is so awesome, i've gone through all 54 pages.

[EDacIouSX]

kind of interesting too bad they didnt find anything amazing, yet.

[CrimsonRockett]

Went through all pages earlier today.

That's definitely a cool find.

Imagine how many S-chassis parts you can store in there?

My garage, closet, living room, and shed would be happy to score something like that.

:rofl:

[status:one]

Went through every page. That's something really cool to have in your back yard.

[thestreetzking]

def. epic, i wish the thread was finished lol i skimmed all 71 pages for his posts and pics, i wanna know what under that false floor..

[Quail]

Ahh man, people are destroying the thread with spam :(

[deadpirate]

just read through all 72 pages...damn spammers got in there and acted like total douchebags...that sucks. i wanted to see more

[Quail]

Same. Totally ruined an epic thread

[deadpirate]

thats pretty nuts to find something cool like that though. maybe the original poster will start a new thread with more updates??

[fliprayzin240sx]

I'd turn that bunker into an underground garage...

[BustedS13]

I'd turn that bunker into an underground garage...


bat cave. motorized doors that look like rocks.

[kyoru]

and a ramp that lowers bwahah..where are all the pics? I'm combing through but its such a hassle

[BustedS13]

i'm not kidding, if that was mine, i'd make some foam rocks to attach to a pair of doors. and that'd be my garage.

[SexPanda]

dubya tee eff. Coolest thing i ever found in my yard was a meteorite.

[Matej]

It's so dumb when people linked from other forums register somewhere just to post in one thread, just like all those stupid "ownage" threads.

[Yuri]

Anyone else notice that the "light switches" are located at the far end of the tunnel?
That wouldn't make sense, unless there's more to this tunnel than is visible.
Maybe the concrete at the end is blocking off more of the tunnel.

I also can't wait to find out what the buried concrete wall is for behind his garage.

I love that thread.

Yah,

that would make sense...

My grandma had some classy Nazi record player given to her parents as a gift after the German army came through her village and the officer picked her house to stay in for the night. I wonder how much it's worth.

[HyperTek]

[SNC240SX]

[P_856]

[Quail]

Updates! They've found gun remains (page 88 and 89 specifically)

[deadpirate]

FUCK YES!!!!!!!!!!! god i wanna see what else is there!!!!!!!!

[OfourTHREEfive]

Thats sick, awsome thread.

[GoodOl'S13]

I wonder what else they'll find. having a tunnel like that would be kickass!

[az_240]

wow awesome thread! +1

[origin_s135]

i'm going to check out the thread everyweek because it's just that awesome.

[ESmorz]

No nazi gold, 2 rotting guns, and some nuts...

Wow.

:angel:

[mRclARK1]

Super cool stuff. :rawk:

Wish people on that forum would stop cluttering up the thread with useless shit making it so much to look through. :bash:

My grandfather was a veteran of the entire war, joined the British army and went into the airborne in 1939, and even participated in operations with the SOE. So I'm super hooked on this thread... anything ww2 related is really interesting to me.

So "Nazi Bunker" = My attention.

He managed to get a decent collection of "souveniers" I've got some cool stuff. ;)

[grnappletree14]
