Great finds I was always told that Loos is no good for field finds!

Good evening,
there is a lot of explosive on Loos.
you have to be lucky to find an interesting object.
this from old to rare.
there are quite a few people going to metal detectors on the sector.
as everywhere, urban planning is gaining ground.
