“Graber” can also mean digger or burrower. “Schatzgraber” would be treasure digger.

Rusted steel-cased ammunition?

AARRGGHH I;d love to see this , but unable to open the link here. I love this kind of stuff.

“Graben” means “to dig,” so “Schatzgräber” would be “diggers for treasure.”

Just said the same.
Remember when a farmer in England found Saxon gold too?

I love when parts of history are discovered.

And there is no such thing as “patrol cans” that should read “petrol cans”.

In this country, there's also no such thing as "petrol cans."

Was just watching a history channel show about the goths and read up on king Alaric and how the nazis were trying to find his grave and treasure

Curious now about this program and what other projects the nazis were involved in and the results if any

Always enjoyed Indiana Jones!

If you barbecue polar bear meat, you had better serve it well-done.

That's what I was thinking. The name "Jonathan Gruber" came to mind.

Funny story: the Russian word for "coffin" is "Grob," and the Soviet-era acronym for their Civil Defense program was "GROB." This was a source of gallows humor in the USSR.

There are indeed photo’s of what looks like rusted 8mm Mauser ammo at the article ,, steel cased war issue perhaps? or stored in steel cans and just picked up the rust maybe??

True, an abandoned German base in the Arctic was likely found.

But more likely a weather station (for aircraft - most important- but also ships and subs fighting the Murmansk-bound convoys) and radio-relay base for command and recon. No search plane is going to go out on a 6-10 hour mission over the Arctic without knowing (or even trying to guess) what the weather is over the flight path.

Searching for the entrance to the Hollow Earth

Yes...duh...”treasure digger” was a code name...how do you dig for treasure through frozen ground or ice!

[mancini]

Dead Snow, very entertaining!

Just watched that movie. Pretty good for a low budget film.

Steel bullets were common in wwII. Hollow points were a war crime. Steel was thought to be more humane.

More likely they were poisoned by eating the bears liver. Big mistake if you don’t understand the risk.

Same here. The vey first time I saw it I, I was hooked. From the very beginning to the end. The acting, the action, stunts, storyline, and comedy thrown in made it one of the best moves I'd ever seen to date. In fact, i liked it so much I stayed and watched it again...lol
