Default Any Good Digging Locations Close to Amsterdam?

I'm Visiting Amsterdam and was curious to know if there are any close battlefield sites, I heard digging might be illegal here and if that is the case I will enjoy the expierence of visiting it just as much. So if you have any locations please let me know!

all the best,
Stefan

This is the way it is: IF people do know any good digging spots, then the last thing they want to do is mention those spots on the internet or to people they dont know... or to people they do know in fact.

Besides that it is not allowed to just dig everywhere you want in Holland.

You can try the Ijmuiden forrest. In '45 a munition complex detonated over there, munition and weapons are spread all over the place.

They call it the 'forbidden forrest' and thats not without a reason. If they catch you, you are *****d.

You won't see me over there!

Nobody will never give you exact locations where to dig. I suggest you to study history books and create by yourself paps detailed as much as possible.

Hi,

DO NOT have a jazz cigarette at one of those coffee shops while waiting for the space cake ("I ate it half an hour ago, and don't feel any different...") to take effect, or you will spend several hours cowering in your hotel waiting for the ripples on the wooden coffee table surface to stop moving!
This happened to me in Amsterdam in 1977, when I was young and foolish - but I am a different person now

Best wishes,

John.
