A fantastic set of photos!
The first one is awesome ... A friend of mine found right under my nose, a medal like one in the picture. We were digging in a village near Loiano along the Gothic Line, and I was helping him in a small American landfill. Between broken bottles and rusty object, jumped out the medal, he was about to throw because he did not understand what it was lol.
Congratulations, beautiful post!
Be sure to check out the source of the photos at War Wings Art. I found out that the link I put in the post didn't work, so I have fixed it. I wanted to point it out again anyway because it is such a good source for all of these unusual photos (and really big images, too.)
Here are some more pictures. These are from a photographer named Melvin C. Shaffer He was in the nearby town of San Sebastiano al Vesuvio which was heavily damaged by lava.
