well.... Americans so I am told are famous for burying surplus kit.....Brits have a nack of dumping them in the sea....Canadians so i am told were one of the only coalition countries to hold on to equipment, or at least take it home.
there is a chap who has just located and recovered 12 perfectly preserved MkXIV spitfires buried in their crates in Burma..... there is treasure out there folks, you just got to find it I would not mind a crack at raising one of the shermans sitting on the sea bed off Malin Head

Alex, are you sure? I googled this a couple of days ago and couldn't find anything recent. All news reports are from April and May. After that complete radio silence?
