From there - on to the crashsite. Driving through meadows is a really nice experience 
- especially knowing that the village is very close and they have plenty of tractors there to pull the car if gets jammed somewhere
This time, I think I managed to locate the crashsite.
Remember the story: the bomber flew low, started to cut the treetops with the propellers, suddenly two engines broke in the trees and fell, and the aircraft crahed on the hillside nearby. There is started to burn, so hot that the aluminum was melting and falling in drops, also ammo exploding according to the witness.
Remember what I found earlier: parts from cast aluminum details, a kind of temperature or pressure gauge, a few pieces of aluminum tin, two pieces of plexiglass... All this on quite a small meadow. I searched there again: again a few pieces of cast parts, tin pieces and... two pieces of engine piston rings - no way to be mistaken for them!
Now I knew - this was the spot, where the engines fell apart, fell to the ground!
So, I headed further to the West, about 40 - 50 meters away of the "first finds meadow". And there, the whole hillside gave signals on the detecor!!! Many small pieces of aluminum tin, also numerous bigger and smaller pieces of melted aluminum - this was the place where the aircraft crashed and burned!
So: First place - very small area, no melted aluminum, debris that may be from the engines; Second place - big area, lots of small pieces, lots of melted aluminum. The location and the type of the debris exactly confirmed uncle Asen's story!!!
Here, infront of me and up the hill to the left is the location of the main crash.In the left-upper corner of the picture is the area, where I first found parts, where the the engines fell.

/. Tin, pieces of some mechanisms, lots of melted aluminum found allover the place.
