At work one day last week a guy from the oldendays told me about some british trenches in a patch of forest not far from my workplace. After work I grabbed the detector from the car and made a stroll into the forest to try locate the place. Before I found the trenches the detector screamed here and there and one of the signals was a couple of .303 lying together. When I found the trenches I was pissed that I had forgot the camera and phone in the car. I searched around alittle bit just to see if it would be worth doing any digging here when I had a good signal. It was a little deep and under the forestfloor it was grey clay. Very soon I saw metal and got it dug out and rinsed it with the water I had remembered to bring. It was one of the parts from a british food canister in a great condition, and it even had a nice bullet or shrapnel damage. Im well chuffed with it and will go back there soonish.
