A few days before we had made a longer trek to another camp, and there we actually spotted a moose when we were leaving the site. Not more than 40-50 meter from the forest road something caught my attention, and as I stared in between the trees I suddenly saw it clearly. A large moose.

Buttons. Small aluminum buttons for shirts and trousers were hiding under the birch. I opened up some more of the ground and a uniform button jumped out. It was made of glass, and had text on the back. Kriegsmarine, I thought.

Near the barrack I opened another rather strong signal and through the next 45 minutes I dug up around twenty full MG belts and loads of full stripper clips for the K98. Around the place there were an abundance of signals,

I had several days off work this week and spent the first around the site where I found the Close Combat Clasp last week.

Close to the old camp road I saw a dug out and went to check around it. Below two old pines the detector picked up strong signals. There was a faint sign after a short ditch in the terrain and signals from the whole lenght. I cut open the moss and saw charcoals and soot and my bayonet poked into some metal. I flicked the item loose and saw the shape of it. I held my breath.
