Are there stories that you’ve heard of locally or famously about a big cache of WWII guns being found in recent times?

Maybe in some bunker or some basement or buried or something
Aside from that famous story of 1,400 rifles found under a Japanese school as that seems to be the most famous one I think

GuestMay 18, 2021 at 1:00 amI don’t remember when exactly this was but I know a bunch of kids found a cache of ww2 aircraft and anti aircraft belt-fed machine guns in Western Australia. They were playing in a rocky area and found a small cave entrance. There’s was a military issue trunk in the cave containing a browning AN-M2. They don’t know why or when they were cached there. I can’t find the news article but I just remember my dad telling me the story.

GuestMay 18, 2021 at 1:00 amI wonder if there’s a point that cosmoline actually stops working. I know it can get dry and waxy, but it still works as a preservative then. There has to be a point that it’s not even worth thinking about
