There is an old marine base in my town that was used in WW2 to store different materials. I ventured on back there once again, but with a camera in hand. (yea, the quality sucks, only 2 megapixles) I thought some of you may like them, so here they are:

Me, again. We were kind of...ummm...lost. We found our way out eventually. I like this shot. The trees are out of focus, but I'm not..kind of.

One of the pieces I took home with me. It is probably 8 pounds and nearly pure chromium.

All the pieces I took. The smaller ones are pure chromium.

Watch out, chromium can be pretty toxic. http://www.scorecard.org/chemical-profiles/hazard-indicators.tcl?edf_substance_id=7440-47-3

Unless it leaches into the groundwater its ok. You aren't going to get cancer from picking it up.

But I'm sure the soil under that pile is a hazmat site waiting to happen.

The entire depot is a Hazmat site happening. It is under going contamination clean-up, as is the other WW2 depot in my town(Can you say nation's largest stockpile of mercury?).
