oldies1955 Posted May 25, 2015 Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 Hey all: No detecting today, Took the dirt bike out to work on my lack of riding skillsAfter about a hour and a half I realized that my legs have the strength of a newborn But, I was out looking at washes and did find some juicy ground to detect later. On the hill I found this tag. Its made out of aluminum.To me it looks like the loading instructions for the ammo belt to a machine gun?What do you guys think?Tom H.

adam Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 Interesting Tom, Could it be off a plane or Heli ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Heinrich Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 Think firehose or something like that that needs to feed out. looks too complicated for a machine gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldies1955 Posted July 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 Wanted to update this thread. About 30 yards from the little instruction plaque I found I also found this panel.Another member confirmed what it was for me.Its a ball turret gunner access panel.They were on B-17s B-24s and B-25sWill have to do some more hunting in that area after it cools down a bit.Makes you wonder if a bomber went down there at one time?Crazy finds!Tom H.
