Hello all my fellow American Friends, here in South Africa we have been very busy of late, the above pic shows you my Toyota Hilux 4x4 truck on the left and my mates Toyota Hilux 4x4 bakkie on the right, we use both vehicle's when we go out hunting.
(nice to carry all the stuff that we find in the back) actually nice to carry our camping stuff and wood that we take along each time.

During The Boer War which took place here in South Africa from 1899 to 1902 this area that we visited, we are sure that either The Boers or The British hit this rock with one of their cannon's by mistake and this is why it has split in half like this. Must have made a guge noise indeed.

Okay so we hunted around and the following pic's will show you what we found and I am sure that your mouths will start to water. And these finds will make you all have sleepless nights. The pic below shows you 303 doppies.

WOWSER! Nice finds! What are the two items in the last picture?............NGE
 
Looks like alot of digging! Pretty sandy soil though I imagine. Nice finds. 8)
 
Great variety of war-related stuff. You find much of what I find a little of, here in S. Korea. There are places where we can't
hunt, as there are still unexploded ordinance in the ground,,,,,,,and not stable. But, middle to southren S. Korea.....no fighting
took place in 90% of it....so, all areas open and safe.
Great hunting, and great pictures. (If you want to take a look at some Korean landscape and finds, I have 2 posts up now, titled, "Castles, Coins, and Critters.....and FINALLY THE HORSE.")
 
Try and climb this mountain with all your clobber, spades, kit and machines, this is one of the highest mountains throughout this region, every year there is a lot of snow at the top of this peak, it was damn cold and windy when we reached the top, in fact ugly wind was blowing.

As you can see by how high it is, this was an excellent vontage point for The British during The Boer War, they had their heliograph set up as well.

Look what I found, it is part of a Bully Beef tin, this is the type of food that the British soldiers had to eat mostly.And of course this is me that handsome guy in the pic as well, well over 40 years old as well. You will laugh when you see the other pic's of me.
