A small rummage through the forest

The weather report for this weekend is not looking good so I made sure to make a little trip into a forest. It is a well trawled place not far from where I live as I didn`t have time to drive to the capitulation site today. I didn`t bring the detector,only the pinpointer, because there is a ditch in this forest I started digging last year. I found the spot quickly and decided for how large a section I was going to clear. The ditch is about a meter deep so I opened up a bit more than half a meter lenght. I didn`t find anything else than broken bottles,complete bottles,a few hundred food tins and boxes rusted more or less all the way back to atoms the first half meter down into the ditch. When the more solid metal bits started to pop out there wasn`t really anything exciting, a few tools, a hammer, a few stripper clips and a few k98 casings and a lid of some sort. A large root went along the edge of the ditch and on top of it I spotted a small corner of a thin metal bit, I didn`t dare to hope for it,but as I cleared off some more soil I saw it was a Stalag/POW ID tag. A great little find. There was a bottle which seemed to have grown into the root, and I decided to chop of the root and bring it home, but as I removed all the soil the bottle came loose as it had just been lying next to the root. The last thing I found of any interest was a small glass, looks like a shot glass, marked with Zenith.
