I think I would like to take my old Sting-Ray to Germany and hit a few lakes and swimming holes

my longtime girlfriend is from Germany and goes once a year for 3 weeks to a month. because of work and other reasons, never have been. her sister lives at a tank training base from WW2. we took it over for a tank base for the cold war. all been turned into housing now. would love to take the ol vaquero and run it through there and the small village close by where she grew up. maybe someday after i retire. haha

With those grind markets on the base it looks like it was a asbestos gloves job,too hot to handle and was ditched,possibly to be picked up at a later date when its all cooled off,one of bar does seem odd,so could be more in the same location or dotted around.Folks just dont dump a gold bar for nothing do they.

I thought maybe someone had been scraping the gold off in little bits so they could sell it a bit at a time....maybe not.

the way that old sting ray sounds off on gold It would sound like a six pack of cans and you probably would not dig it

Maybe they wanted to remove the serial #, so it couldn't be traced.
