A couple of years ago I was called as EOD to a find of some suspicious items, containers and bags, somewhere in the Netherlands. I don't want to disclose the exact location to the metal detector hobbyists, we cleared the whole site but they never trust that and want to dig up the whole site which is now in a protected nature park. As it turned out it was a stash for the resistance during the second world war. besides grenades, stengun, medical supply's and some electronic(probably a radio) parts it contained charges of plastic explosives and the pressure switches seen in the pictures. I tell you it was a great find. of course we had to destroy the explosive components, we tried save some of the items but they where in a very bad state due to 60+ years in the ground.
