Before October ended the ground had already frozen and closed the digging season. I hoped for a while that we would get a few weeks of mild weather as it often happens here in the north, but this time winter steamrolled us. That of course sucked, but at the same time I had found more goodies this season than any of the previous ones. Throughout summer I had dug up a good handfull of medals and badges, and actually the very last find I got leaving the forest the day before snow fell was a nice Sturmabzeichen, so the season ended in the best way possible at least.
Here are pics of the badges etc that I was lucky enough to grab with me:
