No luggage...just detectors :-) Rent a "car" and slum around the back woods of Moscow...I'm so in! August better for me, but what's the weather like there in Aug? Dekalb got an international airport now? :-) Probably put you on a 2-seater, wind up the rubber band and send you to O'Hare. I'm serious too...always wanted to visit Russia anyways...but this is way more fun! So put down those scissors and start saving some dough.
Nahabit: Don't understand "How you live with him", can you try to explain it? Your english is really pretty good! But sometimes it's difficult to understand. We couldn't even get on the plane to Russia without a passport, BUT we can travel to Canada and Mexico without one. So most Americans don't have passports.
Lady and vodka - at us it is very easy and simple - to especially such guys as you! To you the blonde or brunet?tinpan said:hi jim going to russia sound like a great idea. i got a passport and if some buys me a ticket, i will carry the bags.mding all day for war relics and a night with nice russian ladies and lots of vodka. this sound like a great idea.hay jim if ever find a bag of cash remember me. lol lol

I don't worry too much about live rounds anymore...in fact I might take a few down to hocking county (WAY out in the country on a friends 150 acre farm) and try to set them off intentionally under safe circumstances and see if there is any danger of old rounds in the ground. I need as big of a sample as possible and I only have a few, any donations for the project?
Sure the stuff Nahabit is digging can still be pretty lethal...but when's the last time any of us in the US dug a landmine? Grenade? So what is the real risk factor of unearthing a live 7.62 round? How does age affect it?

Thanks for the great info about live rounds in the gorund! When we get there, we'll trust our lives to your skill! We don't know how to dig this kind of area, you'll teach us? D and I are interested in mostly small artifacts, small shell casings without bullets, coins, rings, medals, maybe a helmet or two...those we can ship home through customs easily, but not take on the airplane with us. Might raise a lot of questions! But more important than artifacts, the experience of digging with you so far home would be worth it! No live ammo going home with us! You keep whatever we dig but can't ship home.
