Have you ever worked with the freeware computer program ‘Google Earth’? It came out in 2001 and is still available, but not very popular anymore as people use ‘Google Maps’ because it is much simpler.

Google Earth is based on satellite imagery and you can search freehand for a location, or type in several civil or military grid coordinates and the program with take you directly overhead of that spot on the planet and you can zoom down to take a closer look. As you navigate, the grid coordinates are displayed in real time and the date of the current imagery in use is also available. So, if you are looking down over the exact spot you have coordinates for and see nothing, check the image dates. If the image is newer than the date of the last known photos you have, the tanks are gone.

It will save you a lot of time and money worrying about them.
