Tanks............

[Silver Searcher]

Came across these today after I had been detecteting, I was looking at some new land to search, and these were just sitting there

Looks like they have been there a while, one had trees growing all around it think they are post war, and might be either Russian or Chinese...what do you think

Don't know, But can you Take 'em Home ?

The second and third images on pg. #4 near the village of Hovingham, North Yorkshire ? SS Is this correct?

SS, I guess your MD didn't have a hard time finding those chunks of metal! At least you didn't have to dig 'em up! Neat find, Breezie

I just want to know....

What kind of signal did you get when you found these?

Cool find.If i had found those i would be there every day and night getting one of them operational since theres a few for spare parts nearby.Could come in handy for a revolution or civil war.

If i bought one of them off you, would you mind paying the shipping

No good mate. The old German trick of tying 3 bottles of petrol around a hand grenade still works well on Russian tanks.
Mind you, at todays prices for petrol/gas there's a fair chance someone will steal it before it's thrown!

Re:Never found one of those before, but then again.....

....I always "notch out" tanks when I detect.

No...but I will drive it there and you can pay the fuel cost

[FISHEYE]

If they are diesels then i already have the fuel for them.(I make my own diesel fuel)How many gallons do you think you will need?

This should do it

On a serious note, are these Tanks worth anything

Probably no more than someone was willing to pay mate. They're not in good nick and the Russians had thousands of them. Nip down to stamford bridge, Abramovich can probably sell you a couple of new ones!

Well I know they have been dumped there for over 7 years, good scrap value I suppose :P

These operate at about 3 us gallons per U.S Mile . Lets see how far is that ?
Some one better own a Bank !

You would have to have one of those fuel trucks follow you all the way. Well you might have to have 3 or 4 of them now that I think about it.
